Extraordinary Ordinary

In 2021 Peter Haagensen built an Art studio for Mark Wagstaff through which they discovered a shared faith in Christ. As it turned out, there’s also a commonality in the genesis for their artwork. They are each inspired by what might, at first, not merit attention; no obvious beauty, but something that has potential to reveal the universal beauty that can be seen in all things; in the right season, at the right moment. Peter photographing texture or shadow, compositions and contrasts that are so arresting and poignant and Mark, who from the seeds of biro diary doodles creates rich, luminous paintings. A little later Peter and Mark met up with Rob Goldsmith, an established artist with an excellent reputation. Rob proved to be a great support and so they decided to exhibit together in order to express their shared faith and creativity.
