Art and Prayer: An interview: Early in 2022 Carol was interviewed about Art and Prayer by Fiona Fidgin (Fidge), Learning and Development Officer at The Methodist Church.

I mentioned Joyce Cheverton in the above interview. Joyce introduced me to using art as a tool for prayer for the first time in on a Holy Week Art Retreat that she led alongside her husband David in 1992 on Iona at Bishops House. This was the starting point of my own journey using and offering the Art and Prayer workshops that I have now been leading for over 20 years.

Joyce, was born in Harrow in 1920, she had started creating art from an earlier age and continued to do so throughout her life produce artworks into her late 90’s. She married David Cheverton, an architect, who became a Church of England vicar. They were the parents of Mark Cheverton, who along with his wife Charlotte founded Leith School of Art.
