About the Author:

At the end of the Second World War, Central and Eastern Europe continued to struggle under the grip of Communism. Isabel Piczek was still a young student when she began to visualize the possibilities of a new sacred art form, but she realized early on that there would be no opportunity to create that vision under the oppressive regime in Hungary.

At the age of 14 she was warned that Communist officials would soon come to take her from her family, eliminating any chance to pursue her dreams. With short notice, few belongings, no identification papers and no real destination, Isabel and her sister, Edith, secretly escaped from Hungary. this was the beginning of an extraordinary partnership that would continue throughout the rest of their lives.

In 1992 Isabel and Edith were honored by Pope John Paul II in recognition of their prolific artistic achievements, examples of which can be found in more that 400 cathedrals, churches, and other buildings around the world.
