“My fascination with history, especially The Crusades, inspires my art: this is my way of travelling back in time.
I try to imbue my work with an intensity and passion, hoping to touch the viewer at a deep level. I love to create art with a narrative, and an intrigue, and am thrilled when viewers see an individual story in my work.” Kaye Miller-Dewing
