Lichfield Cathedral is delighted to host a new exhibition of sacred art by traditional Byzantine iconographer Hanna‑Leena Ward. Displayed in the North Quire Aisle, the exhibition invites visitors to experience the depth, symbolism, and stillness at the heart of iconographic tradition.
Throughout the exhibition, Hanna will be present in the space, demonstrating the meticulous craft of icon writing and offering visitors a unique opportunity to witness the ancient techniques that shape her work.
The exhibition, which runs from 30 January until 19 Feburary 2026, showcases a selection of Hanna’s original icons, created through years of study and practice under masters in Greece, Russia, Romania, Finland, and the UK. Her work is rooted in both tradition and research, shaped by her training at the Prince’s School of Traditional Arts and her extensive exploration of fresco painting, sacred geometry, and liturgical art.
