Ellen Burkhart's Stations of the Cross
​March 2024

Dee Perconti's Stations of the Cross
​March 2023
In 2024, St. Thomas' parishioner and local artist Ellen Burkhart spent most of a year creating the images that depict the final events of Jesus' life for her exhibit, "Stations of the Cross: An Intimate Perspective." 
Local artist Dee Perconti taught us how to do collage art, and as a parish, we created fourteen stations of the cross in that style. This year, Dee returns with a unified vision for the Stations of her own. 

Community Collage Project:
​Stations of the Cross,
February 2022

The Stations of the Cross is an ancient fourteen step devotional pilgrimage through the last days of Jesus' life. Using skills learned from local collage artist Dee Perconti, our community worked in groups to create collage interpretations of each of the fourteen stations. It was a wonderful experience!

Icons in Transformation, December 2019 - February 2020

 The Icons in Transformation exhibit featured paintings created by Ludmila Pawlowska over a decade. She began creating the "icons" after the sudden death of her mother. She found comfort recalling the icons she had seen in Russia monasteries and worked through her grief through her own artwork.
