I was contacted by the architect to assist the parish in acquiring artwork for their new daily Mass chapel. We located the artist and she was able to adapt her painting, "Our Lady of Ephesus" to fit into the three arches of the apse using the technique of giclée. The three pieces were printed under her supervision and installed by a local artisan, with the image of Mary on one side, a repurposed freestanding crucifix in the center, and the painting background on the third archway. Five stained glass windows based on Marian scripture were also created to complete the chapel. They are reflected in the prayer garden directly outside the chapel.
