The Church of the Epiphany
Get ready to step into a new era of beauty and inspiration at the Church of the Epiphany in Denver, Colorado!
We're thrilled to team up with Ken Miller, founder of "Grammar of Ornament," to refresh the vestibule of this historic 1941 building.
Combining Art Deco influences with modernist design, the Church of the Epiphany has seen artistic adaptations over the years. Now, our goal is to bring cohesion to the interior space, starting with the vestibule. We want to create an atmosphere that captures both beauty and mystery, setting the stage for worship and community gatherings.
Stay tuned as we embark on this exciting project to breathe new life into a cherished space, honoring the past while embracing a vision for the future.
From Concept to Design
With the concept sketches finalized, we've now entered the stage of refining our designs into their final form. This involves conducting thorough research, creating detailed drafts, and meticulously selecting and testing color palettes within the space.

Design Details
Creating detailed charcoal and colorful paint portraits of kings to capture their essence and characteristics on paper and canvas.
For the rendering of the King panels, we're delving into painting styles, exploring period textile patterns, and conducting detailed figure studies to ensure authenticity and visual impact.
Before the final panels are begun, detailed full-scale mock-ups are meticulously created to thoroughly test both the color palette and the overall design. This process allows for adjustments and refinements to ensure the final outcome meets the desired vision.

Final Process
Using the various patterns, studies, and colors carefully mixed for the preliminary samples, the final work on the panels begins in earnest. Each element will be thoughtfully applied to ensure that the overall composition captures the intended vision.
Painting shadows on trompe l'oeil molding requires precision to enhance the three-dimensional illusion of depth.
