In 2019 I was commissioned to create a stained glass portrait of Helen Delich Bentley, a journalist and congresswoman whose legacy will remain an inspiration for many years to come. Today the stained glass panel was unveiled and presented to the state of Maryland; the event was celebrated by the many friends and colleagues of this amazing person. The outpouring of stories and admiration for her life was amazing. I was so proud and honored to be a part of this. Special thanks to Mike Galiazzo and Bruce Bereano for helping this wonderful project come to fruition.
