Stephanie - Berkeley Heights, NJ, USA – February 2011:

I did a search on www.bing.com for "authentic fiji art", and Sigavou Studios was the first result listed. I visited other sites, but decided to contact you because your site included high quality images, descriptions of the artwork and it was easy to navigate. It also helped to talk with you. As you can imagine, I was a bit nervous trying to procure art from an artist/studio that is literally half way around the world and that I knew nothing about. But, your attentive e-mail response and talking with you put me at ease.

I received the artwork yesterday and everything was great! The pieces are as beautiful in person as they look online. Thank you so much for working with me to have art delivered quickly and in perfect condition. If I ever travel to Fiji I will certainly visit your studio.

Working with Maria from Sigavou Studios is always an enormous pleasure and never a disappointment.

Maria has an incredible talent that allows her to encapsulate a great multitude of themes in her work. We have used Maria on a number of occasions to commission special pieces of art tailored specifically for the event and the lives of the individuals that the pieces are intended, leaving all participants with an extremely memorable and exceptional experience.

Like all occasions that arise, they are nearly always at short notice and Maria has always been able to move mountains and meet our very tight deadlines flawlessly, with aplomb and professionalism.

Thanks so much for the artwork! I received them this morning – they are beautiful and will really look great once framed. The fact you use local paper and combine both your modern style with traditional colours looks absolutely fabulous. Look forward to meeting you again!

I greatly appreciate the assistance you've given me.  I wanted something SPECIAL - a parting gift that portrays the beauty and simplicity of the islands.  You reflected that in your art.  I like the combination of colours and the QUALITY of your work.  I also appreciate how prompt you were in replying to my e-mails.  Your meticulous replies showed me how much you cared about your customers.  That meant so much to me.  VINAKA VAKALEVU again.

We are finally back in Australia and getting back from Fiji time. Just a quick note to say thank you for your hospitality on our recent honeymoon to Fiji. We purchased four items of artwork including ‘Vonu Ni Cakau II’ which was displayed in our hotel room in Fiji. The paintings are beautiful and the use of colour excellent, they are unique and different to artwork seen here in Australia. Whilst at the Sigavou gallery we were shown how each of the paintings was created. It was amazing to see the time that is spent creating each of the paintings. Every time we look at our paintings we will remember Fiji and the wonderful times we shared on our honeymoon.
