Some oldies in every way!!!! A lot of you know that I’m an artist, and you know that from my visual theology days. Before I was called to ministry (right from stewarding an exhibition BTW), I’d been a professional artist since my teens. My first degree was fine art and I’d expected to teach. I was even accepted to do a teaching Masters in art. Which, I am shocked to say, I turned down. There were other things in store clearly, and not at the Columbian School of Fine Art in Washington DC. The UK whispered to me and a few years after settling, I was illustrating. These very fuzzy, very old (on so many levels) cards were for Ebony products in Milton Keynes. They wanted images of non-white people and I was delighted to oblige. Very delighted. These days, I’d say, “can’t you find a black artist?” But that was then. I see many things differently now.
