“I have a complicated history with the Almighty.” 

Vanessa Ives

Let me introduce you to my newest project…The Altered Altar.

After several trips to visit it at the Antique Annex in Omaha’s Old Market area, I finally made the investment. I was told this one-of-a-kind find probably originated in a Catholic Church in Duluth, Minnesota and was brought to Omaha, Nebraska by David Shaw, a curator of antiques and fine art.

My plan is to fix the broken pieces and then (very lightly) alter it. 

Sign up here to follow along as I attempt to revive this unique piece of history.

The entire Altered Altar collection is not yet complete (I can’t stop adding to it!). So while I tinker away, you can purchase these smaller original collages from the collection here.
