Today I'm pleased to present a new liturgical artist to readers of Liturgical Arts Jounral. I speak of Ms. Ioana Belcea., an artist based out of Princeton, New Jersey. Belcea works in a variety of historical mediums, such as mosaic work, frescoes and painted works generally. Belcea's work can be found in various locations through the United States of America, including most notably the Dominican House of Studies in Washington DC, Belcea is also a lecturer on liturgical art and conducts instructive workshops on iconography for students.
We will not be focusing in on any one particular project today, rather our intention today is just to provide a very brief overview of Ms. Belcea's work in these fields in order to introduce her and her work to our readers, and particularly our priests and parish council members who might be looking to commission new works for their churches.
So with all that in mind, let's take a quick overview of some of the work of this talented liturgical artist.
