Dear Tyler, Thank you very much for allowing my marine art into your home. Kind regards from Denmark - the country located between the North and Baltic seas (coastline 5440 miles and land border 42 miles)

I fell in love with Lena's Breakfast of Champions painting and after receiving it, decided to commission three more photo-realistic food paintings for my kitchen. It was such a pleasure to collaborate with Lena and have her bring my vision to life through the set of three paintings. Her sense of humor and her strong dedication to quality in the creative process and deliverables was admirable. I will definitely be following Lena and keeping an eye on future artworks for purchase. Thank you, Lena, for the beautiful paintings!

The pleasure was mine, dear Tamara. We had a chance to communicate about literature, art, interior design, Danish/American food and other things. Your knowledge of literature, admirable creativity and sense of humor made the whole commission process a real fun. Thank you!

Beautiful painting, finely painted and lifelike. I am delighted with it! It arrived well packaged and in good condition. The delivery was complicated by customs charges (as it was sent to the UK), which I didn't expect as the acutal value of the painting was less than that where charges normally arise, but were due to postage adding to the "value", (not logical in my opinion!) which made the whole process slow and complicated. This was no fault of the aritist, but made the purchase a little less straightforward. The artist kindly refunded part of these costs and was honest about the shipping too. Communciation was excellent and she efficiently sent the painting. Definitely an artist worth supporting! Overall a lovely unique addition to my new collection. Thank you very much!

Thank you Lena for your attention to detail as well as wonderful art work. I love the tong and cheek subject you have chosen and also would like to thank you for wonderful packaging you included. The packaging was so beautifully painted I have framed it also. Thank you again for your expressive artwork!

Lena was pleasantly professional and an excellent communicator! My painting arrived in a carefully engineered box to protect the fresh paint and structure of the canvas.
