Testimonials from Collectors "I have never seen this type of energy from a canvas. The colors are vibrant and the style one I have not seen before or since. The absence of brush strokes and the blending of colors through multiple layers creates images that just jump off the walls." Marc Markel, Roberts and Markel, P.C.(Markel and Roberts searched Canyon Road and downtown Santa Fe before stumbling upon Pippin's paintings. (Roberts and Markel have 22 paintings in their law offices in Houston, Sugarland, and Austin.) "It was in July 2008 that I first saw your work in a decor magazine - I'm always looking for ideas. Anyway, a painting of yours was displayed in a home in Manhattan. Dominick and I have been looking for years for artwork that spoke to both of us. We are fortunate in that our taste in style and art are the same. When I saw this piece, I immediately knew you were for us. I emailed your website to Dominick and he was smitten as well. We looked and looked at your work for months and finally contacted you. We selected many pieces and as you know, struggled to limit ourselves. Each time we looked on line, your pieces became more beautiful and meaningful to us. I was struggling to find the "perfect" set. Before making our final choices, I asked Dominick to find out from you if you had any in the "works" that you might be willing to part with. Amazingly, you contacted us with more. Three of those spoke to me and I immediately knew they were for me. You know how excited we were talking to you, making our final selections and waiting for their arrival. I was prepared for beauty. I was not prepared for the effect I was to have opening the boxes and seeing the life of your work. I trembled at the luscious color of spectacular depth and life, the most breathtaking eye candy. I can't get enough of the all consuming beauty, wonder and power. My eyes and soul are thirsty for more. We have placed these wonders in various rooms on our main floor giving us beauty at each turn. We are thrilled to have "you" in our home and thank you for letting us share in the joy of your work. We look forward to more!" Wendy and Dominick D'Ambra, collector of 16 paintings so far... "Aleta, my wife and I have been amateur art collectors for nearly 30 years but more seriously in the last 10 years.  We had our whole family in Santa Fe last Christmas and spent several days going up and down looking in the multitude of Galleries on Canyon Rd. We saw a lot of nice pieces but nothing really gabbed me.  It was only when  we came back for dinner that we passed your Gallery on Delgado and I was struck by the beauty -  I believe the piece is called "Center of the Universe". It was by far the most striking contemporary painting I have seen anywhere.  We came right back the very next day and purchased 3 large paintings and 4 of your delightful 4"X4" squares. You weren't there at the time of purchase but we came back on Christmas Eve to meet you and of course you had the charm and grace that seems perfectly natural to go with the beautiful expressions that come through your art. When you contacted be a few months later I bought two more large pieces for my office. Count us as among your biggest fans."  Jamie & Howard Deichen, Atlanta soon to be Napa Valley California "The palette starts with red, the colors are luminous, their structure dynamic. These paintings provoke the imagination; to soar, turn your face up to a rain, look across a fire...They are exciting."  Robert Guyer "Your emotional attachment to your work and life in general left a lasting and sanguine impression with us." Larry and Ty Fox "Sometimes I walk right by the art in my home that I truly love and never even notice. However, when I stop and notice the works, it really makes me feel very good, almost like stopping to smell the roses, 'so much peace and joy!' " Diane Cadenhead "When I build my building, I will definitely want one of your paintings for the reception area. Amazing intensity." John Polewski, Polewski & Associates, P.C. "We put up the piece (they purchased Over, Under and Through We Go) immediately and it looks WONDERFUL! We admire it all of the time."  Renee Toney
