     Deacon Phil Webb St. Catherine of Siena Carrollton, Texas
  "Linda is an outstanding artist and we are most pleased with the statue and the shrine. In developing the original design, she was frequently in contact with us, always seeking our comments yet ready to share with us her own sense of what is artistically the way to proceed. The result was a beautiful work of art that have been well received by our Community."

     Guadalupe Luis Castillo, Architect at the University of New Mexico

  "I can recommend Linda with out reservation to anyone who is interested in obtaining a sculpture. Linda has an exciting imagination that is at the same time true to the significance of the work she is producing. She is reliable in her performance and time frame for delivery. She is sensitive to the desires of those who commission her, while not hesitating to make suggestions that will enhance the project."
     Charles C. Brown, Pastor Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish Los Alamos, New Mexico
  "We were not only impressed with the quality of Linda's work but her enthusiasm in helping us realize our goal of having only New Mexican artists execute our images. Linda, as a matter of fact, was asked to do four different images of saints in our church. No other artist whom we engaged has contributed as many images as she."
     Joel P. Garner, O. Praem. Of the Norbertine Community and Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary parish in      Albuquerque, New Mexico
