Hi Shansi!! It's your second cousin Jesse that you saw last summer. finally got to see the site... i love your work. i cant believe the level of detail you manage to incorporate.

Your work is amazing...better than ever. I am eager to see what you will produce in the future.

Shansi, It's always a great pleasure to your painterly view of life and the world

Hi Shansi!I always knew that you would follow your own path and be fabulous at whatever you chose to do! Your work is amazing....anyone who sees it will definately have a better understanding of our culture here in the VI! Debi (your OLD gym teacher)

Dear Shansi, I choose my words carefully in hopes of matching the beauty, creativity, and the simple complexities of humanness that is brought to life in your art. There is an invisible doorway that is painted within your creations that allows the viewer to step into the scene being depicted. I am awestruck by your work. Thank you.

A displaced (misplaced) St. Thomian, currently in America, I LOVE seeing your work. And what wonderful work it is; how homesick it allows me to be. Thank you, Shansi. Continued good fortune.

I love all of your work. They are fabulouso. You definitely have a talent that words cannot describe. Thank you for your help with my paper.

Your artwork really captures the beauty and culture that makes the VI special. Bet Hero, Bet Blanco is by far my favorite!! Continued success Shansi!

Great work my sister...From one artist to another...Blessings

Blown away is what I'd say. Like everyone else said,"Exceptional". The pains taking details, the vibrant colors, the realistic shadows are all there. I'm saving to get something of yours.Blessings upon you, my dear.

baby you have a great talent

When someone look at your work, I can imagine them wondering, "Is it a painting or is it a photograph?" Awesome works of art. Your artistry reminds me of Norman Rocwell. It's so realistic like the paintings I used to admire as a little boy in the post office by the Grand Hotel. Keep up the good work.

My daughter, Elynne sent me your website. WOW!!! I am just in awe. The vibrant colors and fine detail of your work is exceptional! Your "Coming Home" was the exact view I had captured in my mind when returning home in April. Continued success!!!

WOW!! You are so talented, and your art work is very inspirational! You may not have known that I myself am an artist, but I have not been doing much in a long time. All the best and future success, your friend Elynne.

The very thought, one see him/herself toddle in family life, "memorialize" as a child at home again; An adult today.

What a gift! I am overwhelmed! You are awesome! I thank God for the gift you have.

VI Child, I'm pleased, and I'm proud of you.

Your work is truly Magnificent and I would love to own a piece someday soon. You are very blessed and I wish you much continued success.God Bless You.

A fellow St. Thomian childhood friend turned me on to your website and your work. I grew up in St. Thomas and seeing your work brings me right back there. Beautiful pieces.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful..I am amazed at the intricate detail capturing cultural stories of my adopted home.

I am a fellow Virgin Islander and I must say your work is beyond words!! The intricate details are breath taking and shows your artistic genius. I love the way you've captured our culture and the true essence of who we are as Virgin Islanders. Press on in giving us these masterpieces. I wish you much success!

Absolutely breathtaking and true to life!

Shansi your oil paintings make the people portrayed, "come to life". Your art work is truly a blessing from GOD. I wish you many, many, years of continued success--always put GOD first in your life and he will bless your art work.

I remember seeing your paintings years ago and I thought they were magnificent. I feel that I am seeing the person in the flesh in your paintings...you are a genius...prodigious talent

My favorite artist on Island. When Felipe and I were at the Haagensen House, your paintings were one of the highlights of the tour. You are special. Brenda

Shansi, I love your work! I love your website! I just got a copy of the Art Fusion: what an honor to have been the featured artists! Congratulations on you successes!

Shansi- I met you years ago at my grandmother's farm...Joyce is my great aunt. I love your work- the colors and detail are absolutely beautiful, so vivid and lifelike. Wish I could see it in person! Best of luck to you, Julia Sexton

I love this website! I wish you all the best. Love, Gabriela

wow. I still can't stop looking.

Hi Shansi! I am your new step-sister in law, I think? Mama J has talked so much about your paintings, but I just didn't get it until visiting your website. Wow. I feel like I just got to stand in the kitchen with some women, witnessing an intense moment. Admittedly, I would be hard-pressed to be invited into such a kitchen in real life. I really appreciate that you put me there. I'm a fan!!! Love, Lou

friend of joyce mangin... continued success, shansi.... lynn
