Inspired By Faith and Prayer

Sacred space exists where a community encounters the Divine
Presence and offers its worship to God.

G.R.Hoelzeman Studios assists communities and individuals connect with this Divine Presence through Liturgical art, design and consultancy which facilitates transcendent experience, communicates Grace, and reveals God's boundless beauty.

We serve Catholic and other Liturgical Communities, dioceses, religious orders, and individual devotees through a collaborative creative process informed by ancient traditions and vision for the future.

how G.R.Hoelzeman Studios Helps enhance your Sacred Space

G.R.Hoelzeman Studios is committed to creating dynamic liturgical art and environment which engages the community sacramentally at many levels.

As a consultant, George emphasizes collaborative listening, creative thinking, respect for culture, conflict resolution and consensus building. As a craftsman, George's craftsmanship has been recognized by multiple awards, accolades, and Knighthood in the Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulcher.

Start the Creative Process

The Creative Vision

The church is a metaphor for the Church, as St. Augustine eloquently describes in his sermon for the dedication of a church. The church building becomes authentically sacred only when it is capable of forming real people into the Body of Christ. This spiritual journey does not end, or even culminate, with the completion of construction or the dedication of the new space.

George R. Hoelzeman, OblSB, KHS, MTS is a Liturgical Artist and Consultant rooted in the Roman Catholic tradition, but also working with Episcopal and Anglican Communities. An Oblate of St. Benedict and former monastic candidate, George deeply appreciates the inextricable link between Art, Beauty, prayer and Sacrament. His work has been widely recognized for its unique design and enduring quality. His extensive academic background in Art, Art History, Theology and Liturgy allow him to draw on a broad and deep reservoir of creative influences. In recognition of his work he has received knighthood in the Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre.
