The Four Corners of Nevada

3/7/2025

0 Comments

 
Each Corner of the Chapel points to the relative "corners" of the great State of Nevada.

From the corridor, the entry is framed in the twisted and gnarled wisdom of the ancient Bristlecone pines with the Chapel's namesake bluebird featured in the transom.

​Upon entry, the visitor experiences the varied natural landscape of Nevada. ​
Starting with the serene aspens of the Ruby Mountains representing the Northeast...

...we move to the open skies and yucca of our beautiful Red Rock mountains in the Southwest.

From there we see the granite and Douglas firs of Lake Tahoe in the west.

Finally, we see the national tufa formation of Pyramid Lake and the rolling basin and range of our Northwest.
The intent of the design is to not only provide a panorama of our beautiful state, but to center the visitor in the midst of it all. While this Chapel will serve well as a meeting place for general services and worship of the creator of this beauty, it must also serve in providing a sanctuary of solitude during quiet prayers for a passing hero. This design respectfully addresses this balance. ​

Many people to thank.
Mike Northan,  Kit DeCarlo for all your help and long evenings 
A big thank you to Quality Tile and Marble for their generous donation that made this project possible.

Veteran's Bluebird Chapel

12/8/2020

 
​During the first shut down, I received the state project for the Veteran's Bluebird Chapel,  this is at the Veteran Wellness Center in Reno.  

Most of this year I have been working with distributors at half staff trying to get the materials here.
It's been challenging  with the pandemic.  

I'm building a 98 panel mural with a deadline in June. This piece represents the four directions of Nevada, with the entrance showing the bristlecone pine.
​
 I must say, living  in and out of different hospitals and rehab centers with my parents for the last 15 years, I have never seen such amazing accommodations for vets and long care facilities as I see with the veterans wellness center here in Reno.

​Beautifully  done and well deserved.
