I’ve been a painter for 20 years. In 2016 I started to explore Iconography because I thought it might inspire my art practice; at that time I was painting abstract canvases with Christian liturgical/ spiritual subject matter. Taking that step led to my decision to train as an Iconographer, and I put all other aspects of my art practice aside to give 100% to this endeavour. My prayers were answered in June when I was offered a place at The Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts on the three-year Icon Painting Certificate course. It’s such an honour to be learning from the world renowned Iconographer, and wonderful teacher, Aidan Hart.
Now the journey really begins…
