| Artist Statement | It is this artist's intent to create a hospitable space that has a congenial atmosphere which invites multiple usage, a place of warmth and sacredness missing in our hectic, modern life. ...The designs will create an ""aura"" of warm light on the ceiling around the columns, producting an attractive atmosphere for social events, meetings, and conversation.
