John Stevens Henslow
I introduce you to My Spiritual Guide – The Rev.John Stevens Henslow, a renowned Professor of Science who nurtured Darwin’s growing fascination with the Natural World. In 1831, J.S. Henslow arranged for his charge to fill the post aboard the HMS Beagle, a 90 foot, two masted Royal Navy ship embarking on a voyage around the world. The rest is history. I first became aware of Rev.J.S. Henslow at my first exhibition when a member of his family attended the viewing. He became so apparent as his face revealed itself through the layers of paint. I feel his presence often and he guides me in various areas of my life. I feel very honoured that I am able to acknowledge this wonderful gentleman and dedicate this work to him.

Sophie, this one gives me goosebumps! Such a lovely tribute and amazing capture and presentation of your wonderful Spiritual Guide! The brown and rose tones are perfect for this one and speaking for myself, I think we all benefit by the forces which guide you! Thinking of you my dearest friend! XX J
