Teri Tan
For Teri's sculpture bustIf I could add a sixth star and two thumbs up for Roxana, I would! She was extremely communicative and enjoyable to work with from the pitch phase, to defining the project, to delivering the final product. She was truly interested in understanding what I was looking for out of the project and sent me photos regularly of the progress she was making. The attention to detail that she put into the project resulted in a finished product that went above and beyond my expectations. Roxana is a true professional in that she produces beautiful things while also handling her business with reliability. The project: plaster bust of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a rather silly subject that Roxana handled with professionalism and flair. I would gladly work with her again!
Nick Picardo
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.
John Strong
For Crucifix Modeled after the Limpias, Spain CrucifixShe did an incredible job. It was a such a pleasure to work with her. She would answer your messages very quickly, and always keep you updated with progress. She one of the best, if not the best, artists on this website (and that is saying a lot). You will not go wrong with her being in charge of the project.
Jordan Glad
For Jordan's SculptureThroughout 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.

For Custom Tree topperFrom 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 !
