"If
you are looking to express yourself outside the realm of the average, of
the chain store, or even the specialty store look, we strongly suggest
that you employ the talents of a very special person.
We are just completing a log home complex that had to reflect
individuality and we have a number of, what has been referred to a
"Floor Art". in the form of custom area rugs and carpets.
These art pieces were designed and constructed by Shirley Sartell, an
artisan from Silverton, Oregon and owner of SK Sartell. SK as she is
known, worked with us for a period spanning more than a year and not
only produced beautiful floor coverings, but had many design inputs on
color and style of our log home as well.
An extremely creative person, SK has a wide range of talents and had we
found her sooner, we would have used more of them.
We highly recommend SK, with all her skills and her modest attitude, to
any party that is looking for the highest level of quality and a high
level of individuality in their home or office." John and
Bonnie Rosen, Diamond Bar R Ranch

SK...
has the innate ability to not only hear a client's words, but also
understand and translate into artwork the personal feelings that
represent the heart of the way we want to live. SK is an artist
who creates in various media so that the textures, colors, and
representations of our dreams become a reality that can be used in
everyday living in our homes. She is an artist who can be serious or
playful to fulfill the needs of her clients. I look forward
to her artistic input in planning our new home and in having her create
beautiful "vignettes and environments" once our home is built. Mary Brown

"Shirley is amazing! I outlined
for her my vision of an impressionistic cityscape for my office in the
Pearl District. She was able to take that concept, and, while I was out
of town on a short business trip, she created a work of art that both
surprises and delights the viewer. I've personally shown this
mural to hundreds of people, and it has never failed to awe and inspire.
Although I'm the CEO, I don't have the largest office in the company
because I absolutely refuse to give up this inviting oasis in the middle
of the busy city." Spencer Brown , CEO
EURO RSCG Tyee MCM
"Our project with
Shirley is a Barn.. for people, not animals. For years, we
envisioned it as a retreat separate from our home... An inviting place
for a wide range of activities. Space utilization was important, yet we
wanted it to feel warm and whimsical.
Coming into the
design work we had specific ideas concerning details and influences
(i.e. Carl Larsson, Swedish artist of the 1800's.), especially his
passion for boldness of color. Shirley was the amazing catalyst for
taking our ideas and running with them. What we most appreciated was
this participatory element. No part was drudgery or agonizing in
decision. It was perpetually
Fun. Shirley was ready, willing and a consummate master at paying
great attention to detail. At the same time she jumped into new
techniques and mediums not previously attempted. Dr. K. Donald & Karen
Larson
