Tewkesbury Abbey Theology Forum

Catherine was, until 2023, a parish priest and pioneer in the Diocese of Peterborough. She is now based in Wiltshire, exploring a calling as a full-time iconographer and sacred artist. Her particular interest is in the use of visual means to explore theology and spirituality, seeing our search for the Divine as sharing much in common with humanity’s innate longing for beauty. Her interest in icons began in 2007; she painted her first icon in 2016 and now exercises her priestly ministry through leading and speaking about icons, art and spirituality, as well as accepting commissions for new icons and sacred art (more details at www.catherinemaryicons.uk). She has recently completed a new children’s icon for Tewkesbury Abbey which will be presented to the Abbey on January 18th..
