EWAN CRAIG - SACRED ART

Ewan is a parish member of the Orthodox Church, based in the UK. He has been a full time sacred artist for the past 3 years. His passion stems from the thought of Dostoevsky that "Beauty will save the world". To create work that reflects the beauty of life in Christ, and experiencing the tradition of beauty within His church. Where the union of heaven and earth meet.

Ewan's works are primarily focussed on the iconographic carving tradition. Being influenced by the Byzantine, Russian, Romanesque and Saxon traditions. These works are for private devotion in the home, church furnishing and liturgical use.

They are primarily utilised for publication, most notably, Ewan has worked with renowned author Paul Kingsnorth as an in-house illustrator for the Abbey of Misrule. They are currently working on a new book titled "The Book of Wild Saints".
