Wendy Shaw and Kate Litchfield have been painting together since 2003. Exploring the relationship between artmaking and spirituality they paint together on the same canvas in silent meditation. For them art and spirituality are interwoven. Colour, mark, line and form are an outward and visible expression of an inner movement and landscape.

They work in watercolour, gouache and pastel on handmade paper and their love of colour is evident in the images. There are no boundaries on the shared surface…the artists’ brush marks and colours weave together forming abstract images that are beyond words. They paint silently and intuitively until the spiritual meditation comes to completion.

Biblical texts, beauty and brokenness are a source of their work

Kate and Wendy began Burning Bush Creative Arts in 2003, and have now developed a creative contemplative art space at Burning Bush Barn, Rockland St Mary, Norwich for exploration of spirituality through art meditation, interactive installation, discovery and play.

The project is supported by the Diocese of Norwich and rooted in the Christian faith –but it is open to all who seek a deeper exploration of who we are and the creative world in which we live and relate.
