Commissioned as a class gift for Trinity at Meadowview School, Falls Church VA. The painting portrays a passage from Homer’s Odyssey. The faculty of the school selected the imagery and weighed in on the composition. Our studio designed the custom African mahogany frame in collaboration with Gerald Twigg of Silver Spring, MD.
“Eva Ave Nova Ave”
Completed using mineral paints on a cement panel, this piece was inspired by patristic texts and was painted as an homage to the Madonna Lactans of the Priscilla catacombs.
“Good Shepherd”
Completed using mineral paints on cement panel, this image is inspired by frescos of the Good Shepherd in the Christian catacombs of Rome. While painting this, I was planting and seeding during the Triduum, hence the sower and passion motif.
