Biography, Experience, Current Projects and Fee Schedules
Josephine Niemann, SSND, designs furnishings for places of worship that evoke a prayerful response in participants. She believes each piece needs to express a reverence and dignity appropriate to its sacramental use. Key to this goal are unity of design and harmony with the surrounding environment, especially the architectural elements.

Josephine does not execute her designs, but works closely with Ed Stroeher of Classical Services in Washington, MO, a woodworker whose custom furniture is of exceptional quality. Other elements (marble, bronze, etc.) can be worked into the designs.

Her liturgical furnishings have been published in Environment & Art Letter and in Ministry & Liturgy (Vol.15, #4).
