"Paula focused on the tribute to my father, that he so deserved. Her artistic skills created a lasting treasure of his life. She gave his passing the honor and distinction for the man he was, and wanted to be remembered as. My father was a unique individual and I would have been saddened to lay him to rest in a cookie cutter box. I LOVE what Dead Gorgeous Box is able to give to us at a time when we need so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you"
- Janet G.

Art adds beauty to my life. It also creates something that I can interact with mentally and emotionally to re-center myself and at times examine my feelings through different lenses. It always shines through and communicates both beauty and emotion.
