COMMORATIVE PANEL
In 2018 I was commissioned to create this wonderful portrait in stained glass, commemorating the life of the great Helen Delich Bentley.
The idea was conceived by Mike Galiazzo, President of the Regional Manufacturing Institute of Maryland. Mike brought the idea to me and together we created a format that would highlight the many accomplishments and passions of Helen’s life.
Funding for the commission was donated by several friends and colleagues of Helen Bentley.
The panel was completed in 2019, and recently was unveiled and dedicated to the State of Maryland, with Governor Larry Hogan and his wife Yumi Hogan.
