Thanksgiving marks the beginning of a season of reflection and anticipation. Mike’s copper has contributed to these processes in several sacred spaces through the years- beginning with our home.
Copper Niche in Home
Symbols and statues are common elements that belong in a wall niche to help keep us focused. Special mementos can be placed in them for remembrance. Ours signifies our faith and hope.

Mike made this copper relief for me one Christmas and the cross above it is another gift. They watch over my table- the place I most love to gather with my family.
Copper Altar Cross
A friend commissioned this amazing cross to remember her late husband, and Mike made a copper baptismal font to continue the rustic theme.

When the congregation of a small church in Page, AZ. decided to expand, they commissioned a copper water feature to symbolize renewal in the desert.

The sculpture begins in the entryway of the building and continues its presence, with a representation of water flowing to the courtyard where these towers of copper send water flowing softly.
Copper lends itself to the uniqueness of sacred spaces because it is ancient, everlasting, and warming to the soul.
