The stained glass installation at St. Dominic Priory was a restoration of narrative tradition—bringing back the storytelling function of ecclesiastical windows that had been absent in their modern structure. The priory’s twelve plain windows were restored to their intended purpose when we designed and installed a series depicting the life of St. Dominic. With the building’s pre-engineered stained glass pockets already in place, the project mirrored historic restoration in its seamless integration of new artwork into old architecture. Each hand-painted panel revived the centuries-old Dominican tradition of teaching through imagery, restoring both beauty and theological meaning to the space. The finished work now fills the chapel with symbolic light and renewed spiritual presence.
