“I’ve enjoyed “reading” my new artwork and find many of the words inspiring as a writer (I’ve recently completed a novel). I look forward to continually finding and rediscovering new meaning and depth. One of my personal criteria for great art is when you can enjoy a work on different levels from a distance and up close. Yours certainly falls into that category.”

-Janice Kleinschmidt, Deputy Editor, Palm Springs Life Magazine

“It was great seeing your work at the SD art festival last weekend. Thank you for the “To Begin” print, I love it! I find many of the phrases emotionally stirring, especially when paired with the image they create. I hung my picture that same night. Your art is very creative and unique. I look forward to seeing much more of it in the future.”

- Brock Pysz, San Diego, CA

“Richard Curtner takes collage art to an incredible level. The amount of time he spends coordinating and composing each piece is remarkable, and the level of detail involved in creating these works is phenomenal. “

- Susan Marsden, Tucson, AZ

“I purchased three of your prints at the Sacramento Art Show and just love them. I wanted you to know how greatly I appreciate them and your work. I’m curious what original pieces you might have for sale, or what commissions might cost.”

- Lisa Nelson, artist

“Hi! I Just wanted to let you know that my boyfriend bought me “To Begin” at Carefree Art Festival last weekend. I just ordered “Sunday Afternoon”. Thank you… Love your work.”

- Tammy Aldrich, AZ

"Just a quick note to tell you how much I admire your textual collage work. I've seen it at the La Quinta spring show and, a year ago, clipped your article from a local magazine there, only to come across it this morning, move to your website, and order a print of "The Calm". I am eager to frame and hang it in my office, a reminder of my birthplace (Key West) and a sample of your very special art form.

I will look for you the next time I spend spring break in La Quinta. In the meantime, congratulations on your artistic success and your originality. Can't wait for that print to arrive!"

- Jennifer O'Dorisio

"The themes and images are quite striking, and because of the amount of detail, I found myself looking at his pieces far longer than I usually look at other work. With the amount of text that goes into each piece, I could easily imagine being able to come back to a collage time and time again and always have new thoughts from it."

- Ellery Long

" I visited your site. You are a remarkable artist. Your works are very unique and sophisticated. I think you are a visual poet."

- Rin Colabucci, artist
