Teacher

Koskivaara-Ilmonen Katarina

I am Katarina Koskivaara-Ilmonen, an icon painter, visual artist and art pedagogue. I have graduated with a Master of Arts from the University of Applied Arts and have taught art throughout my career in several institutions, from community colleges to universities. I have taught icon painting to young people and adults since 2016 at the Helsinki Orthodox Parish, and since 2022 also at the Kalliola College. My passion in icon painting is drawing, I could do it every day and not get tired of it! The best thing about teaching is when a student realizes something and is then able to apply it to their work. You can see the icons I paint and other art on Instagram, the account name is icon painter.
