It is mounted on travertine and was expertly framed by her husband and now hangs prominently in our Phoenix home. Her knowledge and skill relating to the ancient art of fresco is impressive. She never seems to stop learning and applying her skills to new artistic endeavors and we are fortunate to have many other small examples of her creativity. We would not hesitate to challenge her with other designs. **★★★★★ — fjrjr98, Nov. 2015** > Commissioned three works for our new home. The first was an entry fresco for the out side of the home and the second was a fresco of our family crest. The third is a unique "painting" of a young women which is in our master bedroom. All were completed in a reasonable time and the work is outstanding. The creativity demonstrated by the artist was exceptional and the final product(s) exceeded our expectations. > I would highly recommend Liana and her work. **Comment from Studio Sofia:** > Thank you for this wonderful review! It is so lovely to hear from you and I am so glad to hear you are still enjoying your frescoes! I must say collaborating with you on the 'family crest' fresco was a most memorable and satisfying experience. As always, thank you so very much for your loyal support of the arts and my work! **★★★★★ — Cathleen Meno, Nov. 2015** > My husband and I purchased Liana's fresco entitled LaSedia. it is the centerpiece of our living area. The piece as well as its olive wood frame is beautiful , high quality and lifts your spirits. We try to go to the annual Art Show in Scottsdale to see Liana's new works and would love to add to our collection sometime in the future. **Comment from Studio Sofia:** > Thank you so very much for your review Cathy! It brings me great joy to know your fresco is a cherished part of your living space as it is still one of my very favorite pieces! I of course would welcome the opportunity of helping you add to your collection one day! In the meantime thank you as always for supporting the arts and my work! ## Selected projects - [DECORATIVE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decorative-pj-vj~1367910) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [LANDSCAPES](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscapes-pj-vj~1367855) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [FIGURATIVE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/figurative-pj-vj~1367907) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Living Room Frescoes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/living-room-frescoes-pj-vj~1073275) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: Potted Alcove, Umbria, Italy frescoes - [Kitchen Frescoes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-frescoes-pj-vj~1073236) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: These Kitchen frescoes were created using the same technique used to create the Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.
