ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH FALL 2006 - ANGEL STATUES

I was asked to come back to St. Joseph's in the fall of 2006 to do a marble faux-finish on two angel statues. I wish I had better pictures of these statues. The finish on them is quite nice. I actually love how they turned out.

STENCIL IN DINING ROOM OF RESIDENTIAL HOME - FALL 2006

I was asked to do a border stencil near in a dining room of a residential home. The owner had some photographs of the original stencil which I used to vector trace the design.

Here is the vector trace. (No Copying or using image without permission)

I had the vector trace cut-out into three segments so that accurate
placement would be easier.

Segmenting the stencil allowed me to place an urn in each corner
of the room as well as centering an urn on the halfway mark of
each wall.

I also fixed the decorative elements on this mirror.

ST. JOSEPH'S - STATUES 2006

During the spring of 2006, I was asked to go back and fix and repaint some statues of saints for St. Joseph. A few decades earlier the statues were painted a light gray color. Perhaps to give the appearance of stone...I really don't know why, but they were sure drab looking. Before I came in, the statues were lightly sanded and primed by a paint crew. Afterward, I came in to fix broken fingers and other parts and repaint them.

Before pic of St. Therese. Her eyes are glass - we discovered this
during the restoration.

Me doing some detail painting.

St. Therese finished right before installation.

Finished St. Ignatius on marble pedestal. He was positioned on the left
side of the back wall near the confessional room.

that I gilded and painted. He is positioned on the left side near the main
entry of the church.

St. Joseph finished. He is positioned on the right side of the main entry.

Finished St. Therese on a marble pedestal. She is located on the right
side of the back wall near the balcony stairs.

MACON ARTS SHOW - 2008

My partner, Craig Coleman, and I had a show at Macon Arts this past October.

All the light boxes and digital pieces are his. The sculptural piece on the wall
and the one on the pedestal in this picture are mine.

This picture shows the back wall of the gallery. All these art pieces are mine.

The small dresses, the piece on the pedestal and the 2-d piece on the far right are
mine. This is the first time we showed together. It was quite a fun experience.

These are my dolls.
