Visionary Art and Poetic Book for reflection and inspiration. Inspired Texts and images by Christian Artist and writer Leonie Marklew-Barrett.




Journey in the Spirit
Walking in God




"The famous Greek philosopher Aristotle once wrote, 'The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.' Aristotle could have been writing a foreword himself for this wonderful and inspiring collection of visual and written art by Leonie Marklew Barrett. Leonie combines her deep personal faith with a sparkling and fresh approach to encountering the presence of God through visual media. In this book Leonie invites us on a journey of discovery, a discovery to find out who God is and she does it through vivid colours combined with words that, if you allow them, if you meditate on them, travel deep into your very being. It is exciting to discover an artist who combines a naturally brilliant talent with an equally brilliant faith and obvious love of her Saviour. I wholeheartedly commend this book to you and pray that you, like Leonie, would 'awaken the truth of time...' and discover afresh the God who wants to be known by you."

The art as seen in this book is expressive of Leonie's personal life's expression. I have experienced the depth and warmth of her paintings which are stories in print…….
