Eularia clarke biography of mahatma: Elizabeth Eularia Clarke (nee Baines),.

Unusually, she resisted the sale of her paintings, wanting them to be freely available to be seen. In fact in her whole career she only ever sold five pieces of art…and the Methodist Church bought two of them! The feeding of the Five Thousand…a fish and chip picnic?! Do you like it? Maybe yes, maybe no? Is it being fed plus a pulpit and a priest — yes, look carefully or what churches have done forever, enjoying food and fellowship together?

Eularia Clarke was a Catholic artist — and within her tradition the Eucharist is of course very important indeed.
