**★★★★★ — Rubble Tile, Dec. 2017**

> Sheryl is a talented artist, a consummate professional, and an altogether very nice person!  We have brought Sheryl in on several projects (both residential and commercial) over the decades. Whenever clients need a very specific, personal decorative or thematic touch for their tile, we are happy to refer them to Untapped Resource.  We are fortunate to have such a great resource here in our local design community.  See for yourself!

**Comment from Untapped Resource Inc.:**

> Thank you - Rubble Tile!  Your expertise, products, and support are second to none - and their customers know it!  It was wonderful creating custom - one-of-a-kind masterpieces - with you and your creative clients!

**★★★★★ — Todd Horne, Aug. 2016**

> I want to commend Sheryl VanderPol for the effort she made in satisfying all of the design requirements for the painting she did for the construction of our bar and rec room area in our house.  Sheryl was willing to tackle new challenges and provide painting on mirrors in our bar area that makes a unique statement in my fiancée's and my house.  Her work had to coordinate with another artists creation of stained glass installed in cabinet doors and she accomplished that.  Sheryl did work in this house 12 years ago and I was very happy that she was able and willing to again put her unique touches on the latest work we have done.  Thank you so much Sheryl!

**Comment from Untapped Resource Inc.:**

> Thank you - it was a pleasure working with such creative clients and colleagues!

**★★★★★ — hoffy65, Aug. 2016**

> Sheryl is an amazingly talented artist.  I've seen her work over the years including gorgeous hand-painted, custom tile backsplashes and sinks to large custom murals.  We finally had the chance to include some of her work in our lake home.  In just two days, she created an awesome painting on one of our family room walls...floor to ceiling and about 9 feet wide. It has incredible detail and is much more than we ever expected.  She captured exactly what we imagined.  She recommended we get used to it for now and we can have her add more detail over time if we want.  She was easy to work with, she listened, and she took inspiration in her creation from other items we already had in our lake home and, of course, the beautiful scenery we have as well.  For your own truly unique and individualized custom artwork, you should definitely contact Sheryl!!

**★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2016**

> Sheryl VanderPol is an amazing artist. She has done several jobs in our personally built home. She was able to work with contractors, coordinate install and deliver tiles and sinks when needed. Then, after we were moved in, she painted on our walls in several locations. From patterns to match wall hangings, to custom/removable back splashes, to bedroom wall murals covering a lot of area, she does an amazing job. She had even adjusted and added to our daughters wall mural as our daughter (and her room) has matured.  She is professional and very flexible. She sees the big picture and always satisfies above and beyond her clients expectations. I highly recommend Sheryl with Untapped Resource.
