Phil Diers, Sculptor
scuplture and ornamental plaster
This circa 1941 plaster Madonna della Guardia was severely fire damaged in 2006 at a San Francisco Catholic church. They asked me if I could recreate the hands and heads that were missing as well as cleanup and repair the fire-damaged plaster, using photos the church provided. The statue was fully restored in 2008.
