The Virgin Annunciate

Our Lady of Mercy commissioned me to create the Virgin Annunciate and St. Joseph the Carpenter for their new sanctuary. I had already sculpted the fourteen Stations of the Cross in bas-relief collaboratively with another sculptor for the parish. While the clay sculptures were articulated in my Frederick,Maryland studio, the plaster casts were sent to marble carving studios to be copied, per Renaissance tradition. I subcontracted with carver Malcolm Harlow, who had worked at the Washington National Cathedral, for the sculpture of the Virgin Mary.
