About The Artwork

Calligraphy in acrylic, with decoration in watercolour and gilding in imitation gold leaf, on museum board. The two phrases come from the Bible and the Qu'ran. Both artistic traditions have their basis in scripture and both are intended as aids to prayer, meditation and understanding of the infinite. In both cultures, the motifs used in the art are only pale reflections of eternal and ideal forms. We cannot possibly comprehend the nature of God/ Allah. It is only for Him to know. Yet the flowers and foliage are a reminder of the beauty of God/ Allah and His Creation. Meditation upon these forms leads us toward their divine archetypes and thence to the Garden of Eden. AL-ANAAM 006.099, Qur'an : "He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky, and therewith We bring forth buds of every kind;" Isaiah 55:10 (bible) : "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud," The artwork is currently in a wooden frame (natural light wood). The frame has a thin, knot work/ woven band running around the moulding.

I was born in Anerley, Penge, UK in the year of the Rooster. All the rest of my family are Snakes.... :-) I've loved art all my life - I'm a compulsive doodler. I hope that I have now, through my artworks, taken doodling to a whole new level ;-) The main inspiration for my work is early Celtic. One day, many moons ago (more than I care to admit to), I saw a reproduction of a page from the Lindisfarne Gospels. I thought: "Wow! How do you do that?". So I set about trying to find out. Doodling alone can only take you so far. There comes a time when you have to seek out those who know more than you, and this led me to The Prince's School of Traditional Arts in London. I did look at all the usual art colleges, but we weren't really singing from the same hymn sheet, shall we say. At the PSTA I met many wonderful, unique, learned and inspiring people - such as Prof Emeritus Keith Critchlow, Dr Martin Lings, Dr Nassar Mansour, Aidan Hart and many others. Through their teachings and example, I gained new understanding of art, life, the universe and everything ;-) So I now probably fit in with standard art colleges even less than before. Is that good or bad? My paintings are entirely hand made and are executed mostly in egg tempera, acrylic and gold leaf on paper, calfskin vellum, glass or gesso panel. I make my own quills and egg tempera paint, regularly raiding local Welsh beaches for shells to use as paint palettes (they work well and they're free - what more can I say?). I do not, however, grow my own cows or make my own vellum (very yukky process). I am very happy to let someone else do that bit. Each painting can take up to four weeks to complete. Most of that time is spent on drawing out the design, using a set of Victorian compasses, a sharp pencil, a ruler and lots of tracing paper. I live in Burry Port, South West Wales with Himself and our large, dribbly dog.
