Pocket of Art

Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a Cambridge based artist and ordained priest, working in watercolour, pen and ink, and digital media, inspired by my home city of Cambridge, my travels and imagination.

Since 2019, I’ve had a weekly art stall on Cambridge Market, alongside exhibitions, art and craft fairs throughout the year.

My art and ordained ministry are increasingly intertwined. I use my art skills, ministry and teaching experience in facilitating workshops to encourage creativity and deep spirituality in others.

Creativity has always been a golden thread in my life, reaching back to my great-uncle Norman Mansbridge, a professional cartoonist and illustrator.

When I’m not painting in my studio alongside my feline companion, Mia, I am a self supporting priest working in the lovely and ancient church of St Benet's' and volunteering in hospital chaplaincy at Addenbrookes.

My christian faith has always been part of my life, not least when facing the prospect of open heart surgery in 2017. Out of that experience, came an extraordinary journey on the Camino, chronicled in my self illustrated book.

The inspiration from my art comes from a variety of sources including my Christian faith and spirituality; beautiful Cambridge and the natural world. To discover artwork inspired by King's College, the River Cam, Parker's Piece and other much-loved Cambridge places click below....
