This icon looks like it has been produced under the influence of LSD.
Notice the deer-in-the-headlight eyes, the jewelry, and the lips that look like she is ready to kiss.
This is reprehensible. What saint is this supposed to represent. It is hard to read his Greek lettering.

The Greek lettering says: Saint Katherine.

Whoa!
Where did you find it?
Do not be shocked by those who teach new doctrines but seem to be worthy of credence. Stand solidly like an anvil under blows. A good athlete suffers blows but wins. St Ignatius.

Um. There is a calendar/prayer book printed by the Serbian Orthodox Church (Western Diocese of the USA) where many of this priest's icons are printed. These icons seem to have a Hawaiian or tropical theme.
Here is a link to that website.
On the first page, you will see some of his work:

Here is a photo album of some of his work.
He is a great artist, but not so good at iconography because of his use of vivid colors, which go against traditional Orthodox Christian iconography.
