Monique Chmielewska-Lehman - works and creativity

Teresa Wyszomirski donated the tapestry to beautiful Christ Cathedral in Orange County.

She commissioned Monique Lehman, Polish - American artist from Pasadena to weave this incredible artwork.

The tapestry is about 2 feet higher then the original Byzantine style tempera painting.

The colors are a little brighter than observed in present condition of the painting. This is not a copy of the painting in a different medium but close interpretation. Here the Tapestry evokes the similar feelings that Polish people have when looking at the original painting.

It took half a year to weave the tapestry. It was woven sideways with wool, golden thread on cotton warp.

Monique Lehman is pleased to welcome visitors to her website. Let her be your partner when discovering art of tapestry firsthand. Here you'll experience exquisite and extraordinary pieces of her work - ones which are sure to delight you. We look forward to meeting you at our gallery online!
