About the Artist of
The Sistine Chapel Reproduction United Kingdom

The Sistine Chapel Ceiling Reproduction was painted soley by independent artist and signwriter Gary Bevans.  Gary undertook the project after his inspiration during a pilgrimage to Rome in 1987 when he was thirty three.  Having never attended art college, he still works full-time today as a traditional signwriter and independent artist.  He painted the Sistine Chapel after his work day, during evenings and weekends.  The whole ceiling took five and a half years to complete.  Gary Bevans undertook the project as his own gift to his parish church and it was funded upon donations from parishioners and visitors.  Today, Gary is a Deacon at English Martyrs Chruch and continues to work on various art commissions and restoration jobs.
