Kay Blythe

Egg tempera is one of the oldest, most versatile, and most durable methods of painting. It was the main medium used for panel painting and illuminated manuscripts in the Byzantine world and the Middle Ages in Europe, until it was replaced by Oil painting in Europe. It has remained the required medium for Orthodox Icons. Kay has developed a passion for this medium and paints traditional icons as well as portraits in Egg Tempera.
