Testimonials from our clients

When I receive written feedback about our statues, it brings us enormous joy, and seeing our client’s photos of their sculptures in situ in their homes is one of the best parts of sculpting for me. Please let me know how your experience was, as I can learn a lot from what could be improved, and I hugely enjoy hearing about what you liked! – Tanya

This is my 4th cat purchase from this artist (I have 2 more coming in the future!😊). Every time a new cat arrives (2 in this case😺😺) everyone says, “Oh! THIS one is my favorite!” Tanya’s cat sculptures are so beautiful, so realistic you can’t help but talk to them.😸Everything about working with Tanya is exceptional: the artistry and skill, the high quality, the love that goes into her sculptures, the care that goes into packaging, the super fast shipping. . .all professional and outstanding. Absolutely trustworthy seller ~ one who gives back; not only in earth friendly packaging but in her donations to animal societies. That makes the purchase even that much better! Such a gifted sculptor! Her work has given my gardens so much more character. “ A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Her sculptures have brought me so much JOY!✨

The item I bought was absolutely beautiful. I had some issues with shipping… No fault of the company though. When they saw the issue they were on it and sent me a new item. The customer service was wonderful. I was surprised to learn that this company backs a charity for animals which made my day. I am also involved in an animal charity and volunteer with the dogs trying to keep them out of shelters and place them in a good home. I will be buying more of their beautiful, unique art. Thank you again for the excellent customer service.”  Nicole, (Commissioner)

Strong, but gentle and VERY tactile. When gazing at it head on it appears to stare right back at you and into your soul – it’s almost alive. We love the loose style and can feel the emotion that has gone into creating it. Beautiful. We are absolutely delighted. Thank you so much … And for packing it so carefully.” – Stella, (Buyer).

I think I have run out of glorious adjectives to describe the sculptures and the work that Tanya does. I am always delighted by her sculptures.

I had been searching in vain for a sculpture that would do Ruby justice. Then, early last year, I came across your “Lying Staffie” piece. When I received my copy, I was so impressed that I thought you would be able to work your magic on Rocky. And you did! It’s worth every penny.”

'Stargazers' man and dog on ring sculpture

Molly has arrived safe and well and we are delighted ! You have captured her every feature and soul – thank you!!! She went to sit by her immediately and was a little unsure but then we found her again lying next to her. This spot on the stairs is one of Molly’s haunts as she likes to cover off all bases if one of us is upstairs and the other downstairs. I think that head will become quite shiny as we have already started patting it on passing (just as we do with the Tess head😊) !
