Harry
I was born in a small village in Germany, Stadtoldendorf, in 1954, but lived there for only a short time. We moved to South Wales, where my father worked as a master shaft sinker, developing the coal industry in Wales. My father also instilled in me a great love of motorbikes as he took me for rides on his 500cc Triumph.
When I left school I too became a miner, and soon bought my own bike, an obsession that lasted a long time. But beneath the biker exterior, a mystic and artist waited to break through the mask created by outer circumstances, and at the age of thirty some bizarre mystical experiences changed my outlook on life, and its course.
I first started painting landscapes of the surroundings of my youth, as I lived on an isolated farm, but as I became more aware of my inner nature I began to paint the landscapes of the inner mind.
I have been meditating for many years and have had many spiritual experiences which are difficult to describe in words. Art is unique in its ability to pictorially describe the inner aspect of humanity which no camera can portray, and for which no words in our language exist – our language has only a few words to describe a potentially vast area of human influence which is encapsulated in a word – spirit and/or subconscious. Art is a language where spirituality can be expressed in a way that is not egocentric, but Theocentric, giving the viewer an experience which can be relevant to his own intuition.
I have been studying the Kabbalah for many years, and find it a useful tool to define the different levels of the mind. I like to use the Egyptian godforms to depict the energies which can be found and utilised by the mind. I have also used Celtic and Christian imagery which are closer to my heart and ancestral background.
My paintings offer more than a visual sensation, in that they work on the inner mind of the viewer, subtly introducing an inner frequency which is outwardly portrayed in a visual format through colour and symbolism. There is also a prophetic side to our work which comes through significant dreams. This will be a continuous influence in our work.
Further information regarding our prophetic work can be found in ‘ABOUT US: The Story of Wendrich artHouse.’
Nicola
Although Nicola studied for a degree in Fine Art Painting some 15 years ago, she has only recently been inspired to paint again, through the inner guidance which prompted the formation of Wendrich artHouse as a vehicle of prophesying.
Nicola paints scenes from significant dreams she has had over recent years, which have a prophetic content.
She is interested in using art as a means of conveying prophecy, in addition to the spoken and written word.
