Kennett Square
Hi, Liz! I live in Chadds Ford, PA, and I just discovered your work last week at a
gallery in Kennett Square. I was immediately drawn to your work, fell instantly
in love with your notecards and purchased most of them, I think :o) ! Just wanted
to say I love your art and will return to the Kennett Sqaure gallery to purchase another
bundle of your cards soon! I also hope to visit your gallery in Lancaster in the future.

MAX
After visiting your gallery and viewing your work, we decided to ask you to paint
our dog "Max" as a gift for our two teenage boys. When we received the paintings,
we were absolutely overjoyed! You captured his face and features perfectly and
we are so happy to have the paintings as part of our family collection. You are
incredibly gifted and we were lucky to find your gallery during our visit to F & M.
With sincere thanks, The Schutzman Family, Conneticut

===================================
Hi Liz,
I grew up in Lancaster and recently moved to London. My parents gave
me one of your prints (The Belvedere Inn - as it's my favorite restaurant
and part of Lancaster!) for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I believe the
Thames painting will be next (along with a long list of others)! I even told
my husband we would need to go to Paris and Venice ASAP so I would
have an 'excuse' to buy some of those paintings of yours, as well.
Thanks so much!
Best Wishes,
Elizabeth

Dear Liz,
I can't begin to tell you how surprised I was to learn that my husband
commissioned you for a beautiful work of art. Your talent is beyond words.
It brought tears to my eyes. I consider myself "very lucky" to have one of your
pieces which I have wanted for so long. Please know how thrilled I am.
You made my Christmas. Sincerely, Regina Karshin

=======================================
Dear Liz,
I just do not have the words to tell you how much my daughter loved her painting.
It is her favorite present of all times. You made her very happy and I thank you.
I hope you had a nice Christmas! Sally

===========================================
Hi Liz,
Having one of your original creations and also a giclee print bring
me great joy. You and Freiman are favorites of mine and I wish
you both every happiness. Love, love, love your website.

Alaskan Cruise
Hey Liz...this is the first time I took a minute and looked at your website.
We ate breakfast with you on the Infinity cruise ship the morning after the
comedian show, and the man at our table said he didn't want any bread
and his wife told the waiter "Yes he does"...we looked at each other and
laughed. Your gallery it so beautiful - don't know if you remember - I said
my daughter was an art major and so far was not making a living with her
degree :( Anyway - sounds like you have done some amazing art and I
would love to visit the gallery one day. Nice to meet you. Debbie

==================================
Tonight was my first time out for First Friday in Lancaster.
I thoroughly enjoyed your work...especially the "Rain in the Square". I was
all the more impressed to find you on the web and to read that you grew up
as an MK (as did my husband) and have carried on that legacy in your own
way in the Arctic. What a beautiful gift God has given you...thank you
or sharing it so incredibly! I look forward to next year's work from
Ireland. May God continue to bless you richly. Kelly

===========================

Hi Liz,
I was reading Fine Living Lancaster Magazine and came across an article
about The Mint, a local rock band. The lead singer, Jonathan Decker, lists
Liz Hess Gallery as his favorite. He's hip and about my age and loves your
gallery. Just thought you'd like to know!
Daniel

===========================

Hello,
I have stopped in your gallery many times and love your work. I've been
looking for art for my bare walls and never found anything I just had to have.
But now I just have to have one of your dogs. Jan

Greetings from Tennessee

My name is Tom Newson. I was up your way last year when Mary and Dick
were there.
As I am writing you, I'm chilln' with your brother Dick and his family along with
my family in St. Augustine, Florida.
I enjoyed seeing your talents on canvas and the diversity in your work. I also
got to meet your brother Dan last year. Keep painting, as you really are a delight.
Tom Newson

=======================================

I'm a caregiver for Dan's mother-in-law. Rosalene gave her a newsletter
from the school and an interview on you was in it. Very interesting. I had to
look up your site. Lovely. Your work is wonderful.
Janet Scott, Florida

======================

We are exicited with your new works!
We long to be with you and at your gallery!
All our best wishes to you!
With Love, Tamara & Valeriy Manzhulenko, Kiev, Ukraine

=========================

Thanks for sharing the beauty of the world through your heart. Many of
your pieces have touched me deeply. Pauljay

Hej kära syster Liz!
Jag läste just dina framgångsnyheter om Bon Ton och Chanel! GRATTIS i
efterskott! Underbart! Vi gläds med dig! Herrens välsignelse är över
och med dig, sannerligen! Många varma hälsningar från paltstaden i
norra Sverige :-) from Benjamin's father in Piteå, Sweden

=========================

Hi Liz~
Last spring I had the pleasure of meeting you at Dutchland Galleries in Kitchen
Kettle Village. Although we haven't met again since then, I want to congratulate
you on your recent achievement. On Saturday I read in the newspaper about your red
umbrella series being chosen to enhance the Bon-Ton re-opening this past weekend.
How wonderful for you! I hope this success will lead to grand opportunities for your
artistic career. Best Regards, Diane Goble

=========================

I just wanted to congratulate you on being chosen to be featured at the Bon-Ton and
with Chanel. It's fantastic. I read about you in this morning's paper and it piqued
my curiosity to take a look at your "Red Umbrella" series. They are fantastic.
Congratulations. From one local artist to another. -Koran K.

============================

Dear Liz,
Your Red Umbrella series made me want to cry...last Friday was the first time I
had EVER attended a First Friday event. I admit that there were pieces in other
galleries that grabbed my attention, but NONE of those works moved me like your Red
Umbrella series. There was a point while viewing them that I envied this beautiful
life that you and your umbrella are living. I was captured into a world that I didn't
want to leave. Your artwork really is breath-taking. Hope to see more of
your work next First Friday! ~Tess

==============================

Dear Liz,
I just felt moved to write you and tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you and
seeing your beautiful artwork in Mexico. I was very glad I visited the Spa during your
week there! (I attended your last class and was with Luna.)
I have been looking at your website and admiring more and more. I confess--I'm more
of a poster and notecard client at this time. Oddly speaking--if you ever visit the
Joshua Tree, CA area--(look up the National Park--it's very unusual), contact me.
Our very small artist community is growing--other very lucrative art areas are Carmel
and Laguna as I'm sure you know.
I also noticed your inspirational cards--really lovely! Thanks again. Best wishes.
Sincerely, Janis Commentz, California

==============================

Good afternoon!
I was introduced to your artwork thru Susquehanna Style magazine.
Your work is superb! I went to your website to view some of your
other work and I fell in love with it. The Red Umbrella collection is
phenomenal. My favorites are The Belvedere Inn & Dog Walk Couture.
I wish you much success. I am a true Lancastrian and I love
to see locals succeed in anything they do. Keep up the fantastic work!
Regards, Ponzell Thedford, Rockvale Outlets Lancaster

==============================

"Dear Ms. Hess,
We liked seeing your paintings online. How did you get the idea of
painting red umbrellas? What kinds of paint do you use? We think
they are great! We are sending you some of the paintings we did of
people with red umbrellas. They are made with red tissue paper
and crayons. Mrs. Miller's reading class, Virginia"

==============================

This morning after doing a bit of housework, I decided to visit your
on-line Gallery. What a great break!! I so enjoy your work! From the
time I saw your first Red umbrella painting, I was impressed with your
ability and creativity in painting mist and fog, and I love all the places
you've gone with that. I do hope to visit your gallery in town sometime soon.
Elsie Beiler, Paradise, Pa.

==============================

Hi Liz,
First of all, I hope you are keeping well. I am sure you must be
because your "Cats and Dogs" collection is amazing.
I received your card today of "The Beagles". I am in love with it.
I have just tried calling to ask about a commission of The Beagles, but
got your voicemail. My message will probably sound garbled, but that's due
to sheer excitement. That's the effect of your work on me!
I have not too long ago logged on to your site. Very, very impressive,
I must say. I can't have everything, but "The Beagles" is just simply
trendy/contemporary and would look so good behind the sofa in the living room.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards.
Jean Jeffries, London, UK

==============================

I was in a few months ago, when you had Swedish Moon in your window.
I can't say I know much about art, but that picture was amazing, and I had
to stop in to see it. It was weeks later that I realized the work I had
admired at the Humane League months prior was also yours.

This month in Central PA magazine, I yet again saw your familiar pups.
Later that day, I got an e-mail from a friend inviting me to peruse First
Friday on April 4. Though I've only attended one First Friday, because I
just don't get art, I visited your site before giving my answer.
I e-mailed my friend to tell her I'll see her on April 4th.

Your work is so amazing that for some unknown, beyond-my-control reason,
my eyes welled up at the sheer beauty of some of your pieces.

Though I may never own any of your work, I am ABSOLUTELY thankful that you
do what you do.
