"As a former gallery owner myself I knew my standards were very high, but, in time, I found the excellence I sought in BlackBird. I wouldn’t trust my art work with anyone else now. As the years have passed I continue to be surprised and pleased to find that, once again, they come up with a great design and we have fun working on it."
