Born and raised in South Africa and now living in the United Kingdom with his family, Fr Justin has devoted many years to the spiritual and practical discipline of sacred iconography. His work is rooted in the liturgical life of the Church and in the living tradition of Christian sacred art.

Icons created through Studio Sanctus can be found in churches and homes across several countries. Each work is undertaken prayerfully and with careful attention to the theological and artistic tradition of the Church, so that the icon may serve its true purpose: to draw those who encounter it more deeply into a prayerful spiritual life.

Alongside his pastoral ministry, Fr Justin accepts a limited number of icon commissions each year. These commissions are undertaken for churches, chapels, and private patrons seeking icons intended for long-term prayer and devotion.

Fr Justin also teaches iconography and has developed the Icon Builder mobile app program to assist those who wish to learn the discipline of icon painting according to traditional methods and materials. Instruction is open to students from all backgrounds who desire to engage seriously with the tradition of Christian sacred art.
