From the first conversation

Made for its place. Cared for in its context.

  1. 01

    Tell us about the setting

    Share your idea or the work that needs attention, along with the church or project location. Early ideas and private commissions are welcome.

  2. 02

    Consider the whole piece

    Photographs, dimensions and known history help us discuss the subject, materials and relationship to the surrounding space.

  3. 03

    Define the work together

    A new commission, a particular repair or a coordinated interior each needs its own scope. Begin with a conversation with Jeffrey.

For parish teams

Planning work for your church

A new statue, an aging mural or a sanctuary that needs attention can all start with a conversation about the church and the work.

Email Jeffrey about your project
Can our parish commission a statue from an idea?

Yes. Tell us the subject and where the statue will go. We design and create new statues, so you can contact us before you have a finished design. The church should support pursuing the project. See our statuary work. Private commissions are welcome too.

Can you restore artwork already in our church?

We restore statues, paintings, mosaics, stained glass and other church art. Send an overall view and close photographs of the damage or wear. The material, condition and setting help determine the work involved.

Can you design furnishings and artwork together?

Yes. Our custom work includes tabernacle settings, baptismal fonts, bronze pieces, woodwork and modesty panels, as well as sacred art. We can discuss how the pieces fit within your church interior. See sanctuary furnishings.

What does a church interior project include?

It can be as focused as repainting an aging church or involve artwork, furnishings and decorative finishes throughout an existing interior. We also undertake minor interior changes. Tell us which parts of the church need attention. Explore interior work.

Do you work with parishes outside Sacramento?

We work throughout California, primarily in the Sacramento area and Bay Area. We consider selected Nevada and other United States projects, especially custom commissions.

What should our parish send first?

Email the church name, city and state, and a short description of what you want to create or restore. Include photographs of the artwork and its setting if you have them. Contact Jeffrey at LanziniArt@gmail.com.

Begin with the work in front of you

Discuss a commission or restoration
