Work Philosophy

I take seriously the role of an artist as servant. I am inspired by communities of faith. I see the process of making art in alignment with a confessional and sacramental liturgy. We need art that pulls us deeply into the mystery of faith and grace. Please contact me if I might be of assistance to you in creating lasting stained glass, mosaics or terrazzo liturgical art. Thank you.
