 " It is important that icon painters should be good artists, but it is even more important that they should be sincere Christians, living within the spirit of Tradition, preparing themselves for their work by means of Confession and Holy Communion."
Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia

 

ICONOGRAPHER-MICHAEL KAPELUCK

    About Us

    Iconographer Michael Kapeluck

     

    Michael Kapeluck was born on July 12, 1963 in  Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Stephen and  Beverly Kapeluck. He is a lifelong communicant  of Sts. Peter & Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church  in Carnegie, PA.
     

    Michael started his art training early in life,  being chosen to attend the academic art  classes of the Carnegie Museum of Art in  Pittsburgh at the age of nine. He studied in this  program for six years at which point he  graduated to the pre-college course of  instruction at Carnegie Mellon University where  he spent three years. Upon graduation from  high school he decided to continue his studies  in art at Carnegie Mellon, where he was  accepted in to the College of Fine Arts. After  four years of study Michael graduated with high  honors and a Bachelors of Fine Art.
     

    After several years of showing in area art galleries, Michael decided  give up the world of secular art to devote his life to the study and  creation of the sacred art of iconography. He has been blessed to  paint for churches and individuals for 37 years and with the help of the Holy Spirit, continues to enjoy  the challenge of pushing his skills to greater levels.
     

    He thanks the Lord for such a tremendous blessing to be able to  have a sustained career in this sacred art form.
     

    Michael now lives, paints and worships in his home town of Carnegie  where he enjoys life with his wife Michele.
