"Amanda Wirig was referred to me by a mutual friend when I was looking to find a creative artist to paint a mural on the side of a large building my mother owned in Mankato. Our mutual friend showed me some of her work that he had in his record store, and I was intrigued. The work was
creative and interesting.

"I met Amanda with a few dozen pictures of what I had in mind, and she was an attentive listener, asked a number of relevant questions pertaining to the time period of the pictures I had as well as my vision for the mural. There were some unique “nuances” I wanted incorporated into the piece
and she loved the reason why and thought she could subtly incorporate those ideas into the piece.

"She kept me updated on the progress and shared with me the realistic deadline that she would have the piece complete. With great anticipation I drove to Mankato to see the piece and I was utterly delighted with what she presented. She was delighted that she captured what we had discussed but in addition she was more than happy to modify, redo any part of the piece I thought needed to be changed or modified. I could not find any part of the intricate piece that I wanted
modified or changed. She understood perfectly what I was intending to capture, and she captured
it.

"If I were to commission another piece of art I would without a doubt use Amanda again. She has the heart and soul of an artist and the talent to capture what the client wants."
