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 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 Fantasy Football Trophy BustRoxana was great! She helped me figure out exactly what I wanted and then went ahead and created an awesome result right on time. Would certainly work with her again.

For 24" Indian statue in marbleHighly 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!

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.
