There is perhaps no better introduction to the value of religious painting than that given by St John of Damascus back in the 8th century when writing in support of the use of imagery in the Christian faith:

"I may not have many books, nor have much time to read, but, strangled with thoughts, as if with thorns, I come into the common surgery of the soul, the church; the lustre of the painting draws me to vision and delights my sight like a meadow and imperceptibly introduces my soul to the glory of God."

From ‘Three Treatises on the Divine Images’ by St John of Damascus Treatise 1 para 47, translated by Andrew Louth, published by St Vladimir’s Seminary Press 2003

The paintings and monoprints shown in the collections above are all based on historical works, and when completed the name and origin of that source work is noted on the reverse (see ‘About’ for further details). Dimensions are in inches, vertical then horizontal.

All paintings are for sale as indicated. Commissions are very welcome, and so in order to provide guidance as to the type of work produced some paintings which are no longer available remain on display. All best efforts have been made to ensure that the images shown are good reproductions of the works themselves. Discrepancies however are inevitable when viewing paintings over the internet.

This work is part of an ongoing practice and new pieces are completed on a regular basis. The most recent finished and unfinished works can be viewed in ‘Latest Works’. Comment and feedback is always much appreciated.
