This painting, "New Hope", is the first phase of a three-part project.
Phase II of this project is to be a sculpture which encompasses the angel, woman and flag. This will be the prototype for a 50-foot sculpture which will find its home in a place where it can be viewed and embraced by all at any time.
Phase III, a mural mosaic, will focus on pushing the colors to their highest brilliance using natural Italian mosaic stones, with the hope of re-igniting interest in this traditional form of art in a new and modern way.
