"The life, depth & beauty of wood in the hands of a visionary artist"… Bea Reed ~ Private Collector

"Dream-like worlds impeccably crafted" Brent Seawell ~ Parkside Gallery, La Veta, CO

"Ani's sculptures revel in the rich, natural tones of wood and mysteriously draw the viewer in. They all seem to nurture an inner world of hidden places, creating an intriguing sense that there was once a life presence within. Each sculpture offers tactile pathways to secret interiors. Pulls and doors slide and open to reveal hidden drawers and spaces cleverly built within." ~ The Pueblo Chieftain Newspaper

“We have never had so many people compliment the quality and beauty of an artist’s work as they have Ani’s. Pay close attention to this artist. Her work is amazing”… ~ Celebration of Craftswomen
