Quiet Devotion is a series of pencil drawings inspired by historical devotional art. Drawing upon works by Giovanni Battista Salvi, Sir Ninian Comper and Douglas Strachan, the series reinterprets images of Mother Mary, King Edward the Confessor and Queen Margaret of Scotland through the slow and intimate act of drawing.

To carefully redraw these figures is itself an act of quiet devotion. Pencil requires patience, observation and time. Through the repetition of line and gentle building of tone, I contemplate the faith, humility and service represented by each figure.

These works consider how sacred images are carried from one generation of artists to another. Quiet Devotion is not simply about looking back at religious art, but continuing a conversation with it—finding stillness in the act of drawing and allowing devotion to pass quietly from one hand to the next.
