For Kevin's Sculpture or Flat Board CarvingFive 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!

For Mating ElephantsIt 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.

For Nick's SculptureThis 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.

For Statue of stone and bronze ProjectIf you are reading this review to try and figure out if Roxana is the artist you should pick for your project please read on and then say YES! I am very excited with the work Roxana performed. She is a very talented artist and I am grateful that Custom Made helped bring us together. Roxana is kind, attentive and open minded. It was a pleasure to go through this experience with her. She kept me informed by text and with pictures. Roxana promptly responded to any questions or concerns I had. I cannot say enough about her talent as an artist. She helped guide me through details such as scale, colors, and materials. Without Custom Made and Roxana's efforts my project would still be just another unfulfilled dream.
