"Your watercolor of the Historic High Hampton Inn in its wooden frame is simply gorgeous and heart-warming."
Matthew Burger,
"You are a wonderful artist. I bought 'Terry College' and 'The Arch' last year for my office! They are fantastic. Keep me informed when any new art prints come available. I am a huge fan of your work and the Bulldogs!"
Ray H. Barger,
"Jill, I like your artwork so much that this is the 3rd print I have purchased for my son. The Arch for being a future graduate of Georgia and Terry College for his business degree. Shortly he will have his 4th as I understand that you have been commissioned to do the Pike house this year. It will take all of your creativity and some "airbrushing" as 40 plus years of fraternity life has taken it's toll on the house. They made a wise choice in selecting you."
Barbara Chilton,
I came across your website and was surprised to see a watercolor
painting done of my Uncle Frank and Aunt Lorraine's home located in
Midland, Georgia. I spent many summers there with wonderful memories.
You are very talented, thank you for doing their home justice. It was
a very special place.

I just wanted to send you a note to tell you a big Thank You for the beautiful framed print of the chapel. It is absolutely gorgeous, and the newlyweds who received it as a gift from us were ecstatic. They said it was the coolest gift they got! Thank you so much.

Dear Ms. Leite,
The day I received your picture, I was already planning to go to a shower for Jennifer and Eric. Being so happy with your beautiful rendering of their wedding site and uncertain regarding when I would see them between then and the wedding, I gave it to them, privately and wrapped, at the end of the evening. I explained that it was an early wedding gift.
The next day, they called to share their admiration of your talent and gratefulness for the gift. They are delighted to have this special place so gorgeously portrayed. I am certain that it is destined to be a cherished family treasure.
Your artistic talent and your kind attention to personal requests are much admired and appreciated.

Dear Jill,
Just wanted to let you know how much Matt and I appreciate your getting
the "arch" prints matted and sent to us so quickly. They are now framed,
wrapped and ready for delivery. I know they will be a big hit and so
appropriate for all his guys. He decided to give them at the rehearsal
dinner this Friday night. We are now counting down til the big day and
can hardly wait. Matt did ask if you ever thought about doing Conner Hall
(the Ag Bldg-he was AgEcon major and in AgHon, etc.) and then of course
there is the KA Fraternity house, too. I understand that one may be torn
down sometimes in the future. Anyway, thanks again for your interest
and help.

"Jill, I just wanted to let you know that I received the print that I had ordered. It is PERFECT! Thank you for personalizing it, I know the newlyweds will love it."

"The pictures are wonderful. The frames matched closely enough. She and her fiancé are very pleased. I plan to continue to add to their collection. I will be in touch soon. Thanks!."
Carrie Hirsch
"Hi Jill, Thanks so much for your e-mail-I am so excited about the print! I am married to the grandson of Harold Hirsch, (also named Harold Hirsch) but everybody calls him "Butch". Our son is also named after his great grandfather. I am doing some family archiving for the first time ever since I am taking a hiatus from work. I found your site on the web so it will be the perfect surprise present for the family...feel free to mention to potential customers that the grandson and great-grandson of Harold Hirsch enjoy your work in their home (I'm in sales and marketing, can you tell!?)"

Thanks again for your kindness and prompt input. I can't wait to display your talents as I'm sure it will had an additional touch of class to my office (which is already pretty sporty). " "Thanks again from a fellow DAWG!"
Beth Newhall
"Jill, You are a most talented artist and my daughter will be thrilled. Having gotten her undergraduate degree as well as her law degree from UGA, she was quite eager to have her "grown up art" to decorate her new office. "
David Cogdell
"Mrs. Leite, We just got back from Charleston and I wanted to let you know how much Michelle loved the picture. She started to unwrap it and when she saw what it was she started crying because she liked it so much. She keeps talking about it. Needless to say the print was a big hit with everyone. We were very lucky that the weather cooperated as well on our wedding day as it did. Your print will be going right over the mantle to always remind us of our special day, and I think it captures it perfectly. "
Caroline Ashe
"Jill, Thank you....Thank you! It is beautiful. And you were right I love the framing. Mike is going to love it. Hope you have a wonderful holiday! "
Jen Read
"Thanks for getting the print to me so quickly. I was amazed to see it in the mail. I love it! I framed it already and can't wait to give it to my Dad on Christmas. "

I enjoyed meeting you at the College of Veterinary Medicine's Alumni Reunion
and would like to place an order. Please forward one of the large prints

"Brian was thrilled and surprised beyond description as he opened your original painting. I could hardly wait until Christmas morning when Phillip received his print. He too was so excited!! The joy was indescribable especially for Brian. Jill, he loved it! I cannot thank you enough for these special gifts for my precious sons."
Alan Johnson, Marietta, GA
"She will not see it (framed Chapel print) until tomorrow night. Everyone I have shown it to has loved it. I was not really keen on the name plate colors but let your artistic touch convince me and I am glad it did, because I really love it. Thank you so much..I am sure at some point in the future I will purchase more from you."
Catherine Bilow, Horton MI
Dear Jill,"This morning I hung the pair of framed UGA prints. They are lovely! I am impressed with the care you took in shipping. The parcel arrived in good time and the artwork was well protected. I am delighted. These scenes are an elegant reminder of a wonderful chapter of my academic life. They will inspire me for years to come."
"Best wishes for continuing success. You have a gift for capturing such scenes."
Gratefully, Catherine
Gerry Collins, Noramco, Athens, GA
" Your picture is wonderful and I am looking forward to presenting it to Walter on Tuesday night. I am sure he will be delighted to receive it and will treasure it always. I trust Becky informed you that he is from Belgium and will presumably hang it in his apartment in Antwerp."
"Becky tells me you have other paintings and prints which are as good as this one . It is great to be able to present such beautiful items to people for whatever reason and is always nice to be able to source these locally. We may be in touch again."
"I wish you success in your future and hopefully may meet you in Athens someday." - Best Regards Gerry
