Koskivaara-Ilmonen Katarina

I am Katarina Koskivaara-Ilmonen, an icon painter, visual artist, and art pedagogue. I graduated with a Master of Arts degree from the University of Art and Design and have taught art throughout my career in various educational institutions, from adult education centers to universities. I have taught icon painting to young people and adults since 2016 at the Helsinki Orthodox Parish, and since 2022 also at Kalliolan opisto. My passion in icon painting is drawing; I could do it every day and never get bored! The best part of teaching is when a student understands something and can then apply it to their work. You can see my painted icons and other art on Instagram, the account name is ikonimaalari.
