"I love God...He inspires me. I love His word. It inspires me creatively to speak through handmade pieces.
"I am so grateful for His saving grace in my life and the abundant gifts through prayer and grace. Sweet intimacy with Him in the still quiet places led me to connect with Him and then express such overflow of gratitude and love through creativity - through creating pieces that silently speak His story of love, healing and redemption and a way to praise Him while I make pieces."

MADE by HEART, and by HAND
Maria finds joy in each handmade piece, witnessing to the healing love that she herself has experienced. Prayer is an endless source of inspiration and her deep personal well of empathy for her family and friends overflows into each creation.
From her cliffside home studio in Southern California where she resides with her husband and children, Maria designs and details religious art painstakingly in wax, and has each unique piece handcast by local foundries in solid bronze, brass or sterling silver. The whole process can take months to perfect.
In this exclusive collaboration, Maria has opened up her heart and hands to share her adventure with the Creator, and we invite you to join in. Each piece is meant to be used, loved, prayed with, treasured, gifted, and displayed as a constant reminder of grace and royalty.
Three distinct pieces form our Center Peace Works x House of Royals art collection: a Face of Christ in brass on reclaimed California cedar wood cross frame or brass frame; a rosary chaplet with sword, shield, breastplate, helmet and belt of virtues inspired by Ephesians 6 with accompanying brass Holy Spirit hanger; and a brass Triumph cross, unframed with back hook or in brass frame.
Maria is also periodically available for custom art by commission.

"I bought the [Face of God on Cedar Wood Cross] for myself when the collaboration between Center Peace Works and House of Royals was first released. The next day, I found out my friend had been diagnosed with cancer. I really felt like the timing was more than a coincidence. Instead of putting this art piece in my office, I sent it to my friend. He wept when he received it, sensing that God was promising to accompany him through his cross to recovery."

This Triumph Wing cross, lovingly hand detailed by Maria in clay mold, then wax mold, and then hand-poured in brass, is a work of art destined to bring forth hope in the midst of the heaviest and loneliest sufferings of life, and in the midst of the most joyous occasion. From the sorrow of the cross to the triumph of the cross, overflows hope and new life, redemption and restoration. Each piece is prayed over and meditated upon, carrying deep biblical messages and ancient symbolism, with words from Sacred Scripture and echoes of faith tradition...
This small, mighty brass cross is heavy, powerful, and the perfect size to fit in a hand or hang on a wall as a reminder of the redemptive birthright that belongs to a soul loved by God. The Triumph Wing Cross also comes in a luxurious brass frame, matted in white.
