<h5><strong>About your teacher</strong></h5>
<p><br /><strong>Basia Mindewicz</strong></p>
<p>born in 1978 in Warsaw, is an icon painter and contemporary artist. She was trained in Poland in the College dedicated to iconography. Studying ancient techniques of egg tempera and gold gilding. For many years she has been mainly working in a very traditional style learning the language of the icon. When she came to Edinburgh she started exploring other &lsquo;&rsquo;languages&rsquo;&rsquo; searching for more personal and contemporary ways of depicting similar reality. Her development as an artist is a process of uncovering a truth about who we are as human beings and what we need to become whole. Icon painting as a spiritual practice grows in silence and stillness.</p>
<p>Graduated from The Maria Grzegorzewska Academy of Special Education, MA and College of Iconography (Policealne Studium Ikonograficzne) in Bielsk Podlaski in 2008.<br />She has been working for major icon-painting workshops in Poland. Organized many private workshops and residential courses.</p>
