Local Artists Near Santa Maria

“Dan is an amazing artist, and a pleasure to work with as well. We purchased two pieces and were able to customize the colors in both pieces. Later on we decided to hang one of the pieces in a different way and contacted Dan. Of course he was able to make the perfect wall hanger. I smile whenever I see my beautiful Dan Rider sculptures!”

“Debbie painted a mural of the Lone Cypress on the exterior wall of my neighbor's patio that was directly across the driveway from my kitchen window. The wall is about 10 feet high by 15 feet long. It was a delicious inspiration for my culinary efforts and a pleasant distraction when dirty dishes were in the sink. I sold the house in 2015 for $250,000 more than the real estate experts told me I would receive for it. And one of the experts who became my agent for that sale noted that the mural was a significant attraction. Debbie has done other very impressive work you can ask her to detail. If you consider commissioning art by Flamethrower, I recommend that you look at several of her works. She likes strong contrasts and highlights in her painting. But she will do what you want if you prefer something else. The first two days she sketched a scene that was more than I had hoped for. It was wonderful. Then she began to add coloring and contrast. I wish I had asked her to stop after the second day. I am a sensitive, caring, subtle person who served in the Marines and only wants strong colors on a bayonet. I was enchanted by the softer scene that she considered the preliminary sketch. When she began to apply more color and contrast, I expressed reservations. She was very nice and understanding; and she adjusted the composition. She produced a beautiful mural, but I still regret not having stopped her after the second day. She wants you to like what she creates for you. But she does not read minds. So you have to express your desires. It is the same approach spouses should take. Debbie is very engaging and appealing. But don't mess with her. She has a pet rattlesnake named Hector. Original art is an enviable addition to a home.”

“I hired Rosemary to create a large mural for the lobby of our newly renovated corporate office and it turned out beautifully! We ended up purchasing two additional pieces for our meeting rooms after reviewing her proposals because it was hard to choose just one. She gladly adjusted the dimensions and colors to the room's specifications and they turned out great. The overall experience from conception to finished product was refreshing compared to other artists we've used in the past-- Rosemary is without a doubt very talented, but her professionalism and great communication really set her apart. I recommend Rosemary Pierce if your'e seeking a talented artist to create unique, eye-catching and modern large-scale artwork that can also satisfy tight deadlines, picky bosses and high expectations. Thanks again!”
