 Grace Church is located at 802 Broadway. Over the past few years I've been working on a New York City series. This work rose out of walks with my daughters to their chorus rehearsals.  My initial idea was to have a complete scene with cars and people but as I was working I felt it was more interesting to highlight the church itself and its surrounding grounds and buildings.
