     Kimberly is excited to have just completed one of her biggest art projects to date.  She water gilded (ancient technique of gold leafing) a fifteen-foot frame for Saint Peter's Catholic Church of Charlotte, North Carolina.  The frame was designed by John Collier and constructed by Heritage Woodcraft of Salem, Oregon.  Once the frame reaches the church, it will contain a painting by John Collier.  Once further pictures are available, we will be sure to post them.
 
     Special thanks to the fine craftsmen of Heritage Woodcraft in Salem, Oregon for all of their hard work on this project.  We would also like to thank the Portland Art Museum for assisting us with research related to their wonderful collection of religious art.
