The Craftsman: John Stamper of Martin Painting & Coating Co.
His Winning Work: Interior paint and design at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish Catholic Church

Attention to detail and patience were key traits exhibited by John Stamper while completing the decorative painting, stenciling and staining at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish Catholic Church located in Pickerington.

Leading a crew of six, Stamper managed a tight work schedule so the other trades could finish work in the same space. Stamper’s experience and organization were vital to the success of the project. Each star was laser cut off-site, then precisely placed and stenciled throughout the sloped ceiling of the worship space. All existing wood was matched by blending multiple stains to achieve the new darker tone.

A professional painter for 31 years, Stamper has been employed by Martin Painting the past 14 years. This is his third BX Craftsmanship Award.
