Only rarely is an artist given the opportunity
to create a truly monumental and lasting work of art. The Official
Holy Year Medallion was not only an artistic challenge
but a personal odyssey into my own beliefs. For this work I drew
upon my almost thirty years experience as a professional artist,
as well as many ancient examples in the Vatican Treasury.
My objective was to create a charged emotional
response in those who view the medal. I am honored to have been
chosen as the official medallist for this major commission.
