I have long enjoyed Matthew Alderman's conceptual watercolour works and I thought it would be of interest if we were to compile some of them into an article for our readers' enjoyment. For myself, they bring together a nice intersection of painting, architecture and liturgical design.

Finally, here are a couple of other selections of some of the interior conceptual designs that he has completed (the first of which may well be familiar as this design was, in fact, executed and brought into reality); we present as well two of his designs for altars:
