Julia Bridget Hayes was born in South Africa and lives in Athens, Greece.
She studied photography for a year at the Pretoria Technikon before
coming to Greece in 1998 to study Theology at the Social Theology Facul-
ty of the University of Athens on a scholarship. On completing her degree
she returned to South Africa for two years where she worked as an icono-
grapher and gave talks and seminars on the theology of the icon. She also
taught catechism at the Catechetical School of Alexandria of the Archdio-
cese of Johannesburg and Pretoria. In 2005 she returned to Greece with a
scholarship and completed her masters degree in Theology (Liturgics) in
2007.
From a young age she would draw and paint and was particularly inter-
ested in the human figure and its movement. This interest found its full
expression in Byzantine iconography. Julia was self-taught for many years
and in 2008 started taking classes with master iconographer George
Kordis both at the Theology Faculty of the University of Athens and at
the Eikonourgia School of Iconography.
Julia strives to make each icon she paints a unique expression of the of
the Churchs tradition by capturing the movement and presence of the
depicted in light, line and colour. She achieves chromatic harmony by
mainly using a limited tetrachrome pallete. In the words of iconographer
Aidan Hart, her work captures the appreciation of form found in Byzan-
tine works with the translucency and painterliness that the Russians have
perfected.
Her hand-painted icons are in churches and private collections in Greece,
South Africa, Russia, UK, Ukraine, Finland, Belgium, Romania, Czech Re-
public, Canada, Australia, USA, Indonesia and Argentina and have also
been published in the Eastern/ Greek Orthodox Bible (NT) and the collec-
tion of Afrikaans poems by Fr Jacobus van der Riet, Die Onsienlike Son
and the book by Charalambos Bou-
sias and Ioannis Pervainas.
