St Luke is the patron saint of artists. So we've always had a bit of a thing for painters and poets, makers and musicians, actors and dancers…anyone who feels the need to create.

There is a lot of art around St Luke’s, from the Victorian stained glass windows installed when the church was built, to artwork created over the past few months. We’re aiming to capture an image of all our art so that you can share it with us.

At the ‘sharp end’ of the church, on the chancel under the window, you’ll see a beautiful triptych commissioned in the 1990’s from the artist Paul Martin. https://www.paulmartinstudio.com

It features heaven at the end of time, where all kinds of saints – ordinary people like us – are in heaven with Jesus Christ.

Churches often had portable pictures like these – to help people think visually about their faith. Some of the saints in this icon are painting or listening to music, some are wearing badges, spectacles and Converse All Stars. If it was painted today the saints might be wearing ear-pods, lost in the shining screen of their iPhones.

Every Easter our Good Friday service is a meditation on newly created works of art, made by members of our community. We have a digital archive of the Easter Art over previous years. Click on the buttons below to see more.
