My name's Roger Moffatt, that's me to the left below the wasp. I'm an artist and I have a passion for the work of the Pre-Raphelites, I love their paintings but also their style and the stories behind many of the works and the lives of those who created them.

For the past couple of years I've been working on the series of paintings shown on this site. These represent my modern take on some of the most iconic works of the period by this extraordinary "brotherhood".

I enjoy 'updating' paintings by the likes of Sandys and Rossetti to make them fit in with the 21st century ... to sort of give them a more contemporary feel.

I don't try to copy brush stroke to brush stroke and I don't try to use exactly the same colours as the originals. That would be a waste of time and paint.

My interest is in celebrating these great works and re-presenting them for today with a contemporary twist that references their backstory. 

I hope to add to this site as I progress. I'm getting a the blog up and running soon and planning to post pics of stuff that I'm currently working on, as well as details of any exhibitions of my work.

Thanks for looking!
