🕊 Current Project | Conservation in Progress
I’m currently working on the conservation of the statue of the Virgin Mary, which forms part of the elaborate altar ensemble at St. Vincent de Paul Church, one of the largest and most historically significant Catholic churches in Los Angeles.

This phase of treatment focuses on the removal of aged devotional oil residues from the surface—carefully stabilizing and revealing the original polychromy beneath, while respecting the spiritual and historical integrity of the polychrome sculpture.
