"JoAnn, I appreciate all your effort and really going above and beyond the call of duty. I, too, am hoping that we’ll have a lot more work up in that area, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use you on those [corporate] jobs. Thanks again."

"I just wanted to let you know that I saw my mom this weekend and gave her the framed baptism certificate that you did for me. She was thrilled. It turned out so nice considering what you had to work with. Thank you so much for doing it for me. We love the flag and certificate mountings also. Thanks."

"I did receive the art package and they arrived perfect. Thank you so much. They were packaged the best I have seen. I don't think these paintings moved an inch.....you did a tremendous job. The paintings themselves are truly magnificant...Darryl Vlasak's work represents such REALISM. I am very pleased with the paintings as well as the beautiful framing.....nice job, JoAnn. Darryl is lucky to have you on his TEAM."

"JoAnn, thank you so much for the wholesale mats you cut for me. Two owners of a gallery I work with mentioned immediately the improved quality of my matted prints. I won't be cutting my own mats anymore now that I have you! Thank you again, JoAnn."

"Dear Black Iris:

We want to let you know that we appreciate the finished product.  It looks very nice hanging on our wall.  The frame gives off the appearance of fabric, which is very nice.  Many thanks."
