James Watkins is completing his PhD in theology at the University of St Andrews on comparisons between divine and artistic creativity and the effect they may have on the artist’s creative practice. He also holds an M.C.S in Christianity and the Arts from Regent College, Canada and a B.A. in Studio Art from Wheaton College, USA where he concentrated in painting. James also regularly contributes to the blog http://www.transpositions.co.uk/, which explores the relationship between theology, culture and aesthetics.
