St. John's Baptismal Scallop Shell - Archive

The sea shell, especially the scallop shell, is the symbol of Baptism, and is found frequently on Baptismal fonts. I love the reflection of the church in the basin.

Artist Statement

So often we lose sight of the beautiful art found in our everyday world. We either take it for granted or miss it entirely. I want people to see what I see when I tour and take pictures of these wonderful old churches. I want them to take
A Second Look.

Current Post

St John's Fryburg Ohio
This is one of the oldest church in the Land of the Cross Tipped Churches. It is also one of the closest church to my home. So it just made sense that it would be the featured church in my first post.

Upcoming Post

The Sacred Heart of Jesus in McCartyville is the next closest LCTC church to my home. It is only about 15 minutes from my house. I should be visiting and posting pictures sometime in June.
