Nikki Lastreto, the proprietor of Sacred Treasure House, has been an altar artist for many years, and has done private installations as well as public in museums, universities and events of all sizes. She is available for full project design or consultations through this website. Her emphasis is on, " . . .mixing up the gods. I like it when they all play together, which reminds us that the basic message of love and compassion is common to all traditions. At Sacred Treasure House, we look for the similarities instead of the differences between the worlds' deities."

A perfect example of this is the large King Tut, which is actually made in the Philippines. "We call him Jose Tut Fernandez," says Nikki with a wink.
