Dear Ruth,
I received the painting today. Great timing! I leave for London tonight and will give this to my daughter tomorrow. It's beautiful, and so well thought out--it is a lovely thing for our family to have.
Thank you, Ruth!

Whenever I look at my painting, the image uplifts me. It captures the joy I feel around nature and the way I relate to and love the world in the deepest depths of my heart. It brings me joy and it reminds me of who I am if I am ever down in the dumps. It is on my work desk and I look at it daily.
Thank you, Ruth!

Hi Ruth,
I was delighted to receive the mandala you made for me. It is significant that you used the OM symbol as a central focus. It is the primordial, Universal sound of THE ALL THAT IS! Although I have been hearing this sound for years prior to getting your work, it is revelatory that you perceived this. The sound never leaves me. Having worked sixteen years as a Graphic Designer; and having taught Art, Photography, and Videography twenty-six years at the High School of Art & Design in New York City, I'm particularly gratified by your high level of artistic skill. Also, the dominant golden colors you used in my mandala is reflective of an aura photograph made of me over two years prior to the arrival of your work. For me, it is a daily grounding, centering, and focusing device. I'm happy to have it; and once again, THANK YOU Ruth!
Love, Light, and in Service...OM,

Dear Ruth,
I received your most amazing and beautiful mandala! The colors are so vibrant and in tune with what would enhance my life right now. You are truly gifted! Thank you for the detailed explanation regarding the various symbols, for it deepens my receptivity to the healing energies. When I tune into the green turtle, I feel magic, safety, love, and Zen simplicity. The turtle is so cute and warms my heart. Now, I would like to find a nice frame for it so I can meditate and work with it further . . . I'm also thinking of relocating to "greener", more natural surroundings. I will meditate with the beautiful mandala even more and tell you of the results.
Love, Peace, Passion –

Hi Ruth,
I love my mandala, I look at it everyday, morning and night. As you know it has really special meaning to me. It was amazing that you were able to bring out what was so key for my growth. Since receiving this gift I have been trying to instill better values with my kids. I just want you to know that it is very special having this beautiful piece of art in my home. Thank you for bringing new meaning into my life. It was long overdue.

Ruth,
You have designed two mandalas for me and both are VERY special. The first one hangs in my temple and brings a magnificent flow into all of the work that takes place there. In addition the mandala that you designed for Royal Roads Light Center has been a beautiful addition to all of my communications whether on my stationery, my brochures or emails. I always seem to get feedback as to the uniqueness of the design and the energy it contains. You are an incredibly talented and beautiful person Ruth, I consider myself very fortunate to know you and be blessed by your work.
