Pleased to see that Sister Wendy is still around and still radiating her enthusiasm for Art. I remember her impressive series on television some years ago.

I had no idea of its existence until then and had no idea that it contained such a wealth of icons inside. I am sure we were never told about it at Art College even when we were studying the imagery of icons.
