"Thank you for follow me and leaving me your comments.
Thank you for visiting my FineArtAmerica Gallery.
I am a Multimedia Independent Artist, Storyteller, Designer and Collector based in the United States.
Since 2003 my focus has primarily been photography as a resource for architectural portraiture and visual storytelling in acrylic/ink.
My work is a relationship between my love of color, light and spirituality. I believe every subject has a story to be told and together with my
client we create a timeless piece of art.
In 2014, I started teaching myself digital fine art applications. My world took a turn as I started expressing my life through photography and digital fine art. It's exciting to know that I am limited only by my imagination and ingenuity.

The new church was designed by Massachusetts architect H.A. Minton, who had come west to help rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake. The cornerstone was set on August 22, 1920 by San Francisco Archbishop Edward Joseph Hanna. The church contained a bell donated by the Knights of Columbus, which had been fashioned from metal from the bell from the previous church decoyed by fire in 1919.[3] The first Mass in the new church took place on December 25, 1921.

In the spring of 1972, St. Joseph's Church was elevated to the rank of a minor Basilica by Pope Paul VI, making it one of four basilicas in the western United States, including Missions in San Francisco, Monterey, and San Diego. The Pope gave the basilica the right of the conopaeum (a baldachin resembling an umbrella, called an umbraculum, in yellow and red silk, the colors associated with the Papal See) and the bell (tintinnabulum) carried side by side in procession at the head of the clergy.
