"My fascination with history, especially The Crusades, inspires my art: this is my way of travelling back in time.
I try to imbue my work with an intensity and passion, hoping to touch the viewer at a deep level. I love to create art with a narrative, and an intrigue, and am thrilled when viewers see an individual story in my work." Kaye Miller-Dewing
The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon, also known as the Order of Solomon's Temple, the Knights Templar or simply the Templars, were a Catholic military order recognised in 1139 by the papal bull Omne datum optimum. The order was founded in 1119 and was active until 1312. More on the Knights Templar
The Crusades were a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The most commonly known Crusades are the campaigns in the Eastern Mediterranean aimed at recovering the Holy Land from Muslim rule, but the term "Crusades" is also applied to other church-sanctioned campaigns.
