Fr. Brendan McAnerney is a Dominican priest with faculties to serve as a Melkite-Greek
Catholic priest. As a Dominican he has served parishes in California, Oregon and Washington. He
manages DominICON, a ministry of the “Western Dominican Province, to, “Expand the Appreciation of
Holy Icons and the Traditions of the Eastern Churches,” through which he teaches icon painting,
directs icon retreats and paints commissioned icons. He received
a BA in Art History from Boston University, and a Master of Arts Degree in Theology and the Arts
from the Dominican School, Berkeley where he is now an adjunct faculty member.
He has painted since childhood, but it was not until he studied icon
painting with the Antiochian Orthodox and later with a Russian Master Iconographer that he chose
to devote the majority of his artistic efforts to studying and painting in the iconographic
tradition of the Eastern Churches. He Directs DomnICON, a Province ministry that seeks to enhance
the appreciation of holy icons and traditions of the Eastern Churches. Through the ministry he
travels to teach and direct retreats.
