The art of Holy Week

Caught on Canvas: Artist John Gillies captures Archdeacon Craufurd Murray.

27 May 2009

A steady stream of observers saw John “catch” Diocesan Chancellor Richard Gray, QSM recipient Judith Bruce, organist Allan Packman, and Vicar Craufurd Murray. The art exhibition in the parish hall included works from last year’s artist-in-residence, John Badcock, who drew inspiration from the church’s stained-glass windows.

The art show has become an annual feature of Merivale’s journey to Easter, so be sure to take a look next year.
