817 SW Harrison St. Topeka, Kansas. First Presbyterian Church was organized in 1859. The building was built in 1884 and added hand-carved furnishings in 1935. This building features Tiffany windows installed in 1911. Depicted in the Tiffany glass are scenes inspired by Psalms 42 and 23, Christ and the valiant woman, the ascension and baptism of Jesus, and the story of Nicodemus. The celebrated collection is a permanent part of the church, and is considered some of the greatest examples of Louis Tiffany’s art.

Hi, I'm Jason. I am a senior art major with a concentration in photography and a minor in mass media. I also have studied guitar at Washburn. I am in the early stages of producing my own electronic music that includes guitar. I have a vision of combining visual and audio art as my form of expression. My other love is for writing.
