"One man's graffiti is another man's art."

"Amazing looks so cool"

"beautiful ... love her work"

"The lady in the top painting looks like Cate Blanchett. If I was approaching the painted rocks and walls, I'd think those were real people. Very nicely done."

"wow. the one with the girl seems to have a deeper meaning than it first gives off.amazing."

"Haunting images. Lovely."

"This is a beautiful picture, sure does bring back some good memories of when I was little. Thank you for sharing your work with us. Keep up the wonderful work that you do."
