About the Author Lyle F. Novinski is a well-known painter, liturgical artist, designer, and lecturer. While the forty year chair of the Art Department of the University of Dallas, Professor Emeritus Novinski and his colleagues developed an influential program in the Haggerty Art Village offering degrees through the Master of Fine Arts. An authority on the history of sacred art and architecture, Novinski is a Fellow of the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture and designer of Dallas Area Rapid Transit stations. He has collaborated on over fifty new and renovated churches including the stained glass windows for St. Rita's Catholic Church in Dallas, liturgical furniture for the Church of the Incarnation at UD and First Methodist in Richardson, renovation of Perkins Chapel at SMU, and the creative environments of Neuhoff Catholic Center and Holy Family Chapel at Christus Retirement Center. A particular specialty is the temporary transformation of space into a sacred environment.

He has contributed essays to a number of volumes and his photographs and memories of the Korean War are being prepared for publication. In addition, he regularly leads educational tours to Greece and Italy. Novinski is a passionate verbal image-maker, a poet whose verse pours out at a rapid rate and is clearly "Reflected Knowing", that is, related to life, work, family. Read more
