" Paula, The
bust is just magnificent. It made my hair stand up on the back of my neck
when I first saw it. Tell "Paula, I just wanted to let you know the meeting went very well, the committee members were just amazed with the photos of the statue. They were thrilled with the detail and can't wait to see the finished bronze atop the pedestal. Deb and I are also very amazed with your talents. Just wanted to let you know this is deeply appreciated and you definitely have the go ahead to continue with the process." Randy Comeau - Port Huron Mining Memorial Commission "Paula, I am completely speechless. I looked at the proofs and they made me want to reach out and hug him. You are doing an amazing job of capturing his true personality. You have my approval to continue as needed. Your talents are overwhelming." Audrey Hemphill - Elmer Hemphill Portrait Bust, Hemphill Corporation, Tulsa, Oklahoma "Orlando is 'known' as the City of the 'Worlds'....Disney World.....Sea World....Universal Studio....Holy Land Experience.....and we off handedly refer to our church as 'Baptist World' as we are centered here near them and have frequent visits from world travelers passing thru 'the other worlds'. So NOW we are able to present Jesus to 'The Worlds' in such a majestic visual that will just leave all who pass by spellbound..... 'Thank you' seems paltry for our true feelings. As we have said previously, your talent is unmatched ! We consider this whole event to have been a divine appointment." Dr. Tom Chambers - Orlando Baptist Church "WOW!! The Risen Christ clay Sculpture is magnificent! All the members of our committee loved the photographs and approve. We can't wait to see it in Bronze and installed in the entry to our Memorial Prayer Gardens." Bob Hudson - Orlando Baptist Church "Paula, Link just LOVES his portrait sculpture!

When my husband told me he had purchased something special for our garden remodel, I was afraid he'd bought some silly giant frog bronze or something. I was so excited to learn he had commissioned a portrait bronze of our daughter and myself. Thank you, Paula, for all your hard work and amazing talent." Jennifer Englehart "Paula, we are so pleased with the bronze portrait sculpture of my father you created. As you saw at the unveiling, the bronze took everyone's breath away. Anyone who knew George loved it because you captured him so beautifully in every detail. I thought you would be happy to know, people were so inspired by the portrait bronze you sculpted, that we received many donations to the M.S. Society after the unveiling ceremony. You should be very proud of the wonderful talent you have and I want to thank you again for attending the celebration and for your excellent work."
