What People are Saying About Their Sculptural Session
When facing the death of someone you love, you search for something tangible, something more than memory to remember them by. While at the Hospice with our mother, we were so grateful to come across the opportunity to have a cast made of mom’s hand.
For us, Mom’s hands represented her strength and protection but also how hard she worked and how generously she gave. They were shaped by arthritis, yet they remained the most precious part of her for us to hold. We would recognize them anywhere.
Anita sat patiently and with care beside our frail mom, created a beautiful display box that included a family photograph.
Our only regret is that our mom was too frail to make one for each of us. Instead, we share the single casting, taking turns welcoming it into our homes, each of us holding it for a while.
Thank you, Anita, for creating such a special keepsake for our family.

Anita is a talented and creative sculptor who did a Belly Cast for my twin pregnancy.
The process was fun and the keepsake is something I can always look back on, a very special time in my life.

My mother passed in December of 2025 a year after my father.
I look at this beautiful piece and I tear up. If you’re thinking of getting a memorial keepsake, she does a great job.
Patient, respectful and takes her time.
Thank-you so much Anita.

I can’t say enough good things about Anita. This past summer, when my Baba was in hospice, I reached out to Anita to create a hand cast with myself, my mother, and my Baba. Knowing how time-sensitive and emotional the situation was, Anita was incredibly responsive, flexible, and quick to come to the hospice.
From the moment she arrived, she made the entire process feel calm and comfortable. She was so kind, patient and thoughtful -paying attention to even the smallest details, like making sure a ring was sitting perfectly on a finger. She also brought warmth and humor into the room, made us laugh during such a difficult time and even took photos so we could remember the experience.
The final piece is a perfect replica that captured a moment in time we will cherish forever. It’s more than just a cast; it’s a priceless memory we can physically hold onto for a lifetime.
I will always be grateful to Anita for giving us something so meaningful during such a special and emotional moment.

We crossed paths with Anita at the hospice. She is a gentle and compassionate person.
She created a beautiful hand cast of our father in his final days.
Her work is a treasured keepsake in honor of our father.

There are no words that truly capture what it meant to receive this hand Casting during one of the most heartbreaking times in our lives. Being at the hospice with our brother Dan, in his final days was an experience filled with love and pain, and the quiet weight of knowing goodbye was near. In the midst of that we were given something so incredibly meaningful that now holds one of the last moments we all three shared together.
Anita gave her time so selflessly, but more than that she gave us compassion, gentleness, and understanding when we needed it the most. She stepped into such a fragile moment with such grace , allowing us to simply be with each other while she preserved something we can now hold on to forever.
When we received the hand casting, Lynn and I were both overwhelmed. It was so beautifully done, so full of life and emotion….It feels like we are holding onto a piece of Dan, a moment that we never want to let go of. The photograph Anita captured alongside makes it even more powerful, telling the story of love and connection, a goodbye that words could never fully express.
This is not just a keepsake, it is comfort on the hardest days. Even in loss there can be something so profoundly meaningful and lasting. Our family will carry this with us always and will never be able to express our gratitude enough to Anita for what she has gifted us with ❤️Thank you

Anita came to my home on my 51st birthday and cast a mold of our hands, my son’s, my daughter’s, and mine. It became a kind of time capsule, celebrating our resilience as a family of immigrants and the strong bonds that carried us through a tumultuous journey.
Today, the artwork symbolizes the love between us and serves as a reminder of the many ways in which we are blessed.
Anita is warm, loving, and a true pleasure to work with. She is also incredibly skilled at her art. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to capture a moment in time with the people they love.

I would like to commend Anita on her skills as an artist and as a caring person who helped us capture this incredibly detailed memorial before my wife passed.
The casting sat on the entry table at Janet's celebration of life and remains a focal point in my personal memory shrine I display in my living room.

To be able to have this hand cast of my Mother is something that I will be able to cherish forever.
I can’t thank Anita enough for her time, generosity, and empathy- as well as her artistic talent. She provided us with gifts that will last a lifetime, and I will always hold that near and dear to my heart.
Thank you.
