The Marian Chapel Triptych
A collaborative project with Scott DeWaard of Walland, TN.
Scott made the case units with the intarsia vines along the bases, and I did the carved panels. We worked in our own studios and brought our pieces for installation at the All Saints Catholic Church in Knoxville TN. It is placed in the Marian Chapel. You can see the progress of the carving part of the three panels in this 8 minute video.
