DIVINE CONCEPTION
The Art of the Annunciation
An illustrated talk by SARAH DRUMMOND
Sunday 7 April 2019 at 7pm
How does an artist convey the divine in the human, evoke the invisible in the visible, allow us a glimpse into another dimension? Sarah Drummond, a writer and journalist with a special interest in the history of art and in education, explores some images of the Annunciation, one of the most frequently depicted scenes in Christian art.
Tickets also available at the door

Sarah Drummond is the author of a richly illustrated book of the same title, published in 2018 by Unicorn Publishing Group. Copies will be available at the event. Amongst the reviews, one by Sister Wendy stands out: 'Here is a book of true scholarship - meditated scholarship - luminous with spiritual insight. The images of Our Blessed Lady are very wide-ranging, from the well know to the almost unknown, and this in itself would make this beautiful book precious."
