Wall Sculpture Of Sea Anemone

Wonderful experience. I was worried no one would be interested in my oddball little project. Thank you so much

From the beginning Roxana worked with me to see exactly what it was I wanted, we brainstormed and came up with what would work best. My deadline moved up from the original date we discussed and she was still able to create my project and get it out to me in a timely manner. The piece came out even better then expected !

Working with Roxana was great. I'm super impressed.

Throughout the entire process there were many small mistakes, but I kept telling myself it will be fine, but by the time I got my project I was just disappointed. I asked her to recreate a ceramic piece that my wife's grandma had always had on the wall, but replacing my grandma's name with her name, so it was very sentimental and from her work I saw it looked like it'd be no problem for her. I asked for a 5inch by 15inch dimensions, and provided a picture of the original. What I got was a warped trapezoid, obvious from the time I picked it up. It was 4.5" long on the left, 5" on the right, 13" on the top and 13.7" on the bottom. Also the spelling of my wife's name (Kristian) always looked odd to me, the 'a' looked like a Q, but I thought it was ok, until I realized it was mixed lower case and upper case, like 'KRISTIan", so that's also a dumb mistake. The whole thing took almost 2 and a half months to get to me, way longer than it should, the colors are off, and I feel like I could have done it better myself. I can't say she has an eye for detail. Maybe it's an artist thing where she can make something from her mind come out ok on a sculpture, but she f-d this thing up so bad I wonder if she just didn't care or if she has lost her touch.

Highly recommend. Very talented artist and an even better person. Easy and pleasant to work with. Very high attention to detail and strong professional standards. I had a highly unique and sensitive project for Roxana. It was challenging and a bit out of her (or anyone's, for that matter) comfort zone. She handled it with a great deal of intellectual curiosity as well as discretion, and nailed the project despite its complexities. More than all of this, I could feel her emotional investment in the project. Our interaction in person was limited but I immediately felt she was warm and trustworthy. Through the course of the project - about two months - this was proven true without doubt. If I ever have a custom scultpture to commission again, I'd call Roxana with the first call without question!

It was a totally satisfying experience to work with Roxana Casillas on this difficult project. Her suggestions for the type of sculpture (3D or low relief) and material to use for sculpting (marble or other types of stone) were very helpful. Furthermore, she listened to my minor criticisms of how the animals being sculpted should appear, in order to look as natural as possible, and faithfully complied with my suggestions. As a serious collector of elephant art in many forms, I am completely satisfied with her sculpting talents and pleasant nature in responding to my suggestions. She is a fine lady of superb talent.

This was both a creative and precision project that turned out fabulously. Every step of the process, from initial communication to delivery, was easy, professional, and positive. The project benefited from Roxana's experienced suggestions early on, and her artistic abilities took it from there. I can't imagine an easier, more confidence-instilling route to a successful, timely, and beautiful end result. This project was a gift, and both the giver and the recipient appreciate Roxana's work immensely. Not only would I certainly work with her again, I don't expect to look elsewhere if new ideas/needs for commissioned sculpture arise in the future.
