Joseph Malham is an iconographer and writer who studied art in Rome through Loyola University’s Rome Center. He graduated with a BA in history from that same institution. Since 1999 Malham has been artist-in-residence at St. Gregory the Great Church in Chicago. His panels and icon banners have been acquired by churches, institutions and individuals around the country. Malham’s first book, By Fire into Light: Four Catholic Martyrs of the Nazi Camps (Peeters-Leuven 2002), tells the stories of four heroic figures who transcended the horrors of the Holocaust through their experiences of faith.
