Our Lady, Star of The Sea. 2024 by Stephen B. Whatley
Happy Advent....a new tribute to the Blessed Virgin Mary by Catholic expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
Artist Stephen B. Whatley was born an Anglican and in the 1990s, he became attracted to the devotions within the Catholic Church – to which he converted in 2011.
He is happy that his work touches so many Christians, whether they be Catholics, Anglicans or Episcopalians.
Since 2000, he has been drawn to make statements of prayer and faith; often painting on specific anniversaries and Feast Days – with what he humbly calls a “divine push’, creating both works of hope and light.
The work of Stephen B. Whatley is in collections worldwide & public collections which own his work include the BBC, London Transport Museum, and The Royal Collection of HM King Charles III.
Catholic institutions that own the artist's paintings include The Carrollton School of The Sacred Heart, Miami, USA, The Institute of Marist Brothers, Canada, Newman University, Birmingham (UK), St Anthony Padua Catholic College, Sydney, Australia and Westminster Cathedral, London - which staged his 2013 exhibition, Paintings From Prayer.
In 2004, the artist was presented to Queen Elizabeth II and The Duke of Edinburgh in recognition of his work.
The artist's series of 30 paintings, commissioned by the Tower of London in 2000, is a permanent exhibit outside Tower Hill Station, London ; reproduced throughout Tower Hill Pedestrian Underpass (outside Tower Hill Station) - the main portal entrance to the Tower of London.
