All five entries into the 9th Annual Judeo-Christian International Jurried Art Exhibition at the Upstream People Gallery in Omaha (2007) were not only accepted but all five received Special Recognition awards. This is the first exhibit into which I have entered Liturgical Art.
This is from the Juror's Statement
What an outstanding showcase of artwork that is perhaps the most inspirational of all the shows hosted thus far by Upstream People Gallery. Congratulatiions to all the artists who have shared their God given talents. Following are comments about some of the artists and their exemplary works of very fine art.
Julie Rodriguez Jones of Spanish Springs, NV has developed some very respectable liturgical artworks; a series of banners and matching stoles. In her works “If They Kept Quiet the Stones Would Cry Out...” is handsomely depicted with a stone-like texture in earth tones; “Pentecost Tongues of Fire...” is dramatically created with a reddish fire-like imagery on black; “The Names of God...” is beautifully presented in a rich green with various names of God printed in various fonts; “The Vessel...” uses the imagery of a vessel being poured out representing God’s gifts to us being shared and then filled again; and “We Gather Together...” uses the brilliantly colored leaf motif to indicate people together asking for the Lord’s blessing. All of these are wonderful contemporary and useful icons.

Seasons of Life Wedding Banner
Created for the Brian Hulse and Peg Zenko Wedding
Pembine Presbyterian Church, Greenbay, WI
Peg says, "It's framed, and ready to go with us on Saturday. It's absolutely gorgeous! We thought long & hard on it, because it should be under plexiglas, but I love the light off the texture of the canvas, and Brian agrees.
I really don't know how we can thank you for making a small idea into a big part of our day. It was important to both of us to have something lasting that provoked a sense of peace and spirit for everyone who sees it.
The Rev. Chris Boyer of Good Shepherd Baptist Church, Lynwood Washington celebrates the wedding of his sister-in-law, Katherine (Kate) Eddens, and the groom, Samuel (Sam) Meyer. The venue was the Japanese Garden at Missouri Botanical Gardens (aka Shaw's Garden) in St. Louis. Rev. Boyer is wearing the good shepherd logo (copyright Good Shepherd Baptist Church) embroidered on to each side of the stole.
St. Mark's UMC took a creative approach to creating 10 banners for Advent. They combined the Love and Peace banners and then combined the Hope and Joy banners for the front of the sanctuary. They have two short banners for each lecturn and two table runners for the communion table. The table for the advent wreath has 4 smaller banners, each with love, hope, peace and joy on them. Their minister, The Rev. Larry Keller, compliments this advent theme with the wearing of the Love, Hope, Peace and Joy matching stole.
Their director of music, Janet Carter says: "The banner set is a huge success. They add vibrancy and life to the sanctuary, and depth to the area around the cross. The colors are perfect and the words are easily readable on the banners and on the advent wreath. I had worried that some of the more traditional folk would not approve but everyone who walks in to the sanctuary comments about how beautiful they are. What you cannot see in the picture is that we have stained glass windows down the side of the church - they're multi-colored, but with many shades of blues and purples - so the banners help those colors to "pop" as you view the whole sanctuary. Thanks for all your help and for your beautiful design. I tell everyone who the artist is whenever I get the chance!
All of the baners were pritned by ePingo.com and their marvelous staff.
Artist, Julie Rodriguez Jones, and a few of her banners that have hung at Sparks First Christian Church.
The Rev. Steve Wren of Sparks First Christian Church is wearing a custom wedding stole with the bride and groom's names. The custom wedding banner has a quote from the Song of Solomon: "This is my beloved and this is my friend." Rev. Wren removed the stole at the end of the ceremony and wrapped it around the hands of the bride and groom and blessed the union. The stole will be a treasured keepsake for the couple and they plan on framing it.
The groom says: "I can't believe how fast this was created and how perfect it turned out. We had only one week to plan for this wedding and using the stole for the final blessing was something I will always remember. The banner was a surprise for my wife and her entire family loved it." - Ross Jones, Groom
Matching invitations were created. This one went on the "activities" board of the curch.
Sine Nomine sports the second side of their double sided stoles in their 2008 premier performance. The aurora series of stoles can be seen HERE. Side one was a custom stole featuring their choir's name as shown on the left.
We are getting very nice compliments on the look... "very successful", "unique", and "clever" are among my favorites. Both sides are getting attention - a "subtle rainbow with a neat design" and "fantastic original art."
Faith Lutheran in Ofallon, IL took an existing banner background, requested a color change and added custom, transparant wording.
