Grays artist Tim Harrold went to London to represent Christian artists at a special church gig recently.

He was one of four artists to be quizzed by a live audience of 75 people at St Martin in the Fields next to Trafalgar Square.

Tim ran a recent art show ‘The Perceptualist Eye’ at the Horndon on the Hill Well House gallery, which led to national attention and a review in the Church Times.

Mr Harrold said: “It was quite an experience to speak in one of London's premier Wren churches.

"I was asked two questions by Reverend Jonathan Evens about the role and nature of creativity in life and the community.”

The panel included Tim as an assemblage maker, Bradley Irina as iconographer, Henry Shelton as painter & glass etcher, and Valerie Dean as a painter.

The artists are part of Commission 4 Mission, a wide group of Christian artists from a range of styles and disciplines.
