Whether it be representation of the Hindu
god Ganesh, the texts of the Koran, or of Jesus, Preston Studios
can design with respect and accuracy for all religious
beliefs.

With
the theme being "All things bright and beautiful,"
a concept installation of the Garden of Eden has been followed
in the narthex of Holy Trinity. The Templeton Memorial window
depicts "Roseate Spoonbills" and White Magnolia, as
well as Water Hyacinth.
Each
of the narthex windows at Holy Trinity is part of a greater
scene - The Garden of Eden. Nature from all over the world is
featured. The Campbell Memorial window features Hibiscus, Great
Blue Heron, Scarlet Ibis, a juvenile Snowy Egret, and Water
Hyacinth.
More
than twenty windows comprise this collection of works by Preston
Studios - all part of an installation depicting The Garden of
Eden. The Benjamin Memorial depicts wildlife from New England:
a family of deer, Dogwood, Crocus, Daffodils, Gladiolas, and
a wild Rabbit. The borders were created by Stanley Klopfenstine
Studios.
