I, as an artist, am sanctified by participating in the creative process, but it is ONLY THROUGH MY BENEFACTORS that my hands can be occupied for God. Otherwise, to meet my needs, I must surrender my gifts to the service the world's values, and Sacred Art is, in its witness to Christ, at odds with worldly values. In this way my art is as attributable to my donors as it is to me. May all visitors to this site thank them with me. I am fulfilled by the opportunity to create for God.

Naturally, the greatest donation is that of self. To my wife, Faith, belongs equal share in any graces that flow from my attempted service to God. If nothing comes of my work then she abounds all the more in grace for having born such hardship faithfully following and trusting her "visionary". This call I feel for the Sacred Arts has stood very much in competition to the desires of our family for simple comforts and tranquility. My wife has endured all of the disappointments and frustrations that I have: without the assurance of the call I feel burning within. We have laid aside the Sacred Arts many times in order to have a respite from its imposed austerity and insecurity, and my present venture back to it is not without anxiety. I thank you, Faith. "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength"

My Benefactors

Mr. Cliff C. -This donor heard me express my vision some years back and picked up the tab for any tools I would require. It was a sizeable gift and one without which I could do very little.

Mrs. Margaret L. -Except for her assistance The St. Joseph Paschal Candleholder was slated to die in the hands of an unresponsive customer. Mrs.M. L. may receive full credit for enabling me to bring this project to fruition . I ask God the favor, to remember her intentions every time the Paschal Candle it supports is lit, may St. Joseph bless her and her family.

Mrs. Helene B. is a true patron of sacred arts has heard with enthusiasm of my artistic endeavors and has responded with financial support on several occasions.

I must pay especial homage to the many who have given me encouragement through small and timely gifts, kind and supportive words, and lively and loving example. My parents, brother and sisters. My "late" mentor Boguslaw Mosielski. To my many friends and to the immense giants-the penetrating authors who have shouldered my ignorance and pointed a way.

MOTHER CHURCH, HER HOLINESS, HER TRUTH, HER BEAUTY I thank HER for seeking me, loving me, nourishing me, and accepting my small though sincere service.

I have a separate page to acknowledge as much as I can the individuals through to whom I am able to continue and b whom I have come to this point. It will never be complete but here is the beginning...with a heart full of thanks... BENEFACTOR LIST.

FEEL FREE TO DONATE and I will be that much freer to create.
