Five stars across the board! I was so happy that I had the chance to work with Roxana. If you see some of her sample pieces, you can tell that she is an incredible artist. I was afraid that my project would be too small for someone with her talent, but that was not true at all! I really felt that Roxana was treating my "little" project as if it were her own masterpiece. I was blown away by the quality of the work, and also by the experience of working with her. I was updated frequently, received timely responses and had solid communication throughout. My piece arrived right on schedule and was an excellent value for the cost of a one of a kind work of art. Not only do I recommend that others choose Roxana for their own sculpting needs, I sincerely hope that I get the chance to request her again, for a future project. Read the other reviews - you will not be disappointed! Thanks so much!

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.

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.

Roxana was one of the easiest person that I have ever worked with when it pertains to custom orders. She took the time to research the items that we were discussing and was open to discussion, offering up ideas and ultimately coming to a joint agreement of which she carried out admirably. The communication was exemplary to say the least, I could not have asked for any better communication on the project.
Roxana's talents are extremely refined and honed for precision tasks. She employed all the traits of a true professional and never wearied from her position on point.
The shipping I found to be a bit extraordinary, but then again we were shipping a lot of weight and it had to be packaged appropriately. I am extremely satisfied with the attention to detail and the way that each of the figures turned out. I was a bit dismayed that they did not hold up to the elements as well as I would have liked them to hold up.
I have to apologize for the tardiness of my review. I thought that I had already submitted my remarks but when I happened back on the sight I found that I had indeed not submitted a review.
I think that Roxana will listen to your desires and do everything within her power to insure that the final product is what you had in mind.

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!
