“I found Gordon easy to work with, listening to our thoughts, teaching us along the way. He was most flexible and so very creative in meeting the design for the space. Staff is just as enthused about it today as when it was unveiled.”

“The mural in the Benton Elementary School is a real work of art. A teacher could spend a month teaching anything from science to humanities lessons. Many visitors to the school have commented on its uniqueness and beauty. We are delighted!”

“Gordon put in over 1,000 hours in this mural, and the whole town felt it was worth every penny of the price he quoted us. It is absolutely beautiful!!! Everyone is so proud of it. There isn’t anyone in this town who wouldn’t recommend Gordon Carlisle as a muralist. He’s the best!”

“His teaching skills, ability to effectively communicate with their arts committee, and his flexibility made this one of the most stellar community arts projects that the State Arts Council has ever funded.”

“It is without hesitation that I, who had daily contact with him throughout the mural’s creation, would recommend Gordon for any form of mural work or community arts project. We sought a mural that residents would gaze upon and simply utter ‘Whoa!’ and, through Gordon’s tireless effort, that goal was undoubtedly obtained.”
