“The Benedictine Monks have a beautiful motto – to Labor is to Pray – I love the idea of making my labor my prayer. When I’m sitting at my torch, I’m making petals, I’m making stamens; by making it a mantra, it gives a spiritual dimension to my work. It’s very personal.” – Paul Stankard

Gift of Paul and Patricia Stankard
