The trompe l' oeil mouse at its mousehole in the skirting board that Rosanna painted, totally fooled the cat - and he's an expert! To calm him down, and being collectors of bronze sculptures, we are delighted to have Rosanna's beautiful, tranquil lady, curled demurely in pride of place beside the fire in the drawing room.'

Rosanna's work is amazing. She is extremely talented and is very professional in her approach. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who would like decorative work of the highest standard.

Rosanna's work at our house gets admired by absolutely EVERYONE. She has a rare talent for painting: her trompe l'oiel s so convincing that when you see a key or letter on the floor all you want to do is pick it up.

We couldn't be happier with the work that Rosanna has done for us. She has transformed an indifferent nest of tables into three masterpieces. So many people comment admiringly on them, and we swell with pride when they do. We never fail to say who the artist is.

Rosanna is a naturally talented and imaginative painter and sculptor. The trompe l'oiel marble work and wood work she has done for me are always admired - and assumed to be genuine marble/wood until enlightened. It has been a pleasure watching her work and an even greater pleasure enjoying the results.

Rosanna has transformed our staircase. It is so good that people think that the panelling is real, and when the key is pointed out to them they try to pick it up to open the apparent cupboard door which she has incorporated into the panelling.

Rosanna has painted the most enchanting scene just outside my conservatory so that I can see it every day. The bird sitting on the wall (all trompe l'oiel) is so realistic that for the first few weeks a real bird came every single day to try to communicate with it - I think it was rather cross and felt its territory had been invaded!

The 30th-birthday invitations which Rosanna did for me - she painted a simply wonderful pin-up girl based on the theme of the party, and we then made the invitations from the painting - are just the best.
