My name is Mary Elizabeth Huber and I am an Atlanta-based painter, illustrator and designer. My name represents the Visitation: servitude to God and His people, joy in His plan, and hope for the future. Through iconographic painting I aim to manifest all of these things.

While growing up and developing my art skills I was always fascinated with the human countenance, particularly the eyes, as well as the mystical beauty of creation. In 2016 I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the animation industry, but an intense spiritual experience in 2020 shook my secular, materialist worldview and left me searching for something greater.

I then discovered icons, the art form that views the viewer, and slowly began to fill the void in my soul - only through God could I find rest, and only in portraying His image could I find meaning. To quote C.S. Lewis: “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.”

Eyes are windows to the soul, and icons are windows to this other world - Heaven - therefore my greatest hope is to provide these windows through painting the eyes of the Lord and His servants, to aid in deeper prayer, and to heal the hearts and imaginations of this visually troubled world.
