A very long awaited day has finally come! St. Joseph was installed at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Parish on May 24th, just in time for Pentecost. Andrew Logan of Canal Street Studios and his assistant, Katie, were great. They picked up the marble sculpture and plaster carver's model from the US Customs inspection office in New York, trucked it down to Potomac, placed the stone and finished the job by dinner time. Our Lady of Mercy is planning a big celebration for both St. Joseph and the Virgin Annunciate some time in the fall. A date has not yet been set.
In other news, I am joining the artists of the Mother of God Artists Guild for a group exhibition at the Washington Theological Union. The show runs until the 12th of July and there will be an opening on June 20th at 4:30-6:30.Two works have been accepted into a traveling exhibition sponsored by the Foundation for Sacred Arts. The exhibit will open on August 31st at the National Shrine in Washington, DC. An opening event will be held the evening before, August 30th, beginning at 7:00 pm.It's been a busy and rewarding summer and I am excited to start some new projects. Thank you to all of you who have encouraged me through this very long and difficult project and a big thanks to everyone at Our Lady of Mercy for taking a chance on a young sculptor.
