Nicholas Mynheer (born 1958[1]) is a British glass artist, painter and sculptor. His work is often biblically based, displaying traditional Christian iconography in modern form.[1]
Life and work
[edit]Mynheer studied Graphic Design at Hornsey College of Art in London, and worked in advertising. After his conversion to Christianity and influenced by his wife, he turned to religious art.[2] His work was exhibited in Norwich Cathedral (Stations of the Cross, 2017), and can be found in Abingdon School,[3] Birmingham, Lynford, Enstone, and elsewhere.
