 KIVA DESIGN
It recently occurred to me that our cooperation now goes back a solid twenty years.
There were years of plenty when an art collection represented a normal finishing touch
to a design project. We have also known lean years when limited edition reproductions
were considered an extravagant expense. Throughout all that time, you managed to serve
clients with professional competence and respect for their particular tastes and budget parameters.
Our projects ranged from 1,200 to 50,000 square feet, and from modest to high end. Whatever the
scope and budget, we always worked very well as a team. You have a talent for knowing exactly what
type of art will produce the exact ambiance we are looking for. Your knowledge of up-and-coming as
well as established artists is always current, and we can always count on you to save us valuable
time during the art selection process for our clients.
As much as we value client loyalty, we also greatly appreciate a long-standing relationship
with a supplier, such as that which we have enjoyed with you. I hope we can continue to work together
for many years to come. |
BLACK & McDONALD
Dear Shayna, I wanted to pass along my appreciation to you for your efforts in putting the “finishing touch” on the office. Everyone is truly awestruck by the art. How the art fits in, the colors, everything. It was the coup de grace as they say.
Thanks.

Mme Sanchez s’est montrée disponible, courtoise, professionnelle, et diplomate. Elle a su très bien comprendre et conjuger les différents goûts et besoins des deux propriétaires et suggérer des oeuvres qui rehaussent l’environnement de l’enterprise. Les oeuvres d’art choisies apportent la touche finale à un intérieur à la fois professionel et harmonieux, tout en respectant le budget qui a été indentifié.
Ce fut un plaisir travailler avec elle.

CN INVESTMENT DIVISION
Thank you for both your advice and aesthetic judgment in choosing the hanging art in our premises in 5 Place Ville marie. Deciding on the art was a bit of a challenge, since it had to be integrated with the pieces that we had obtained throught you in 1992, when we first moved to PVM. And the design of the new premises made hanging the art we selected a somewhat challenging task as well.

We would like to thank Ms Silvana Sanchez for helping us choose interesting pieces of art for our new building. On December 14, we held the Opening Ceremony for the building. The representative from Ville St-Laurent, the architects, the builder, the BDC and HSBC were in attendance as were the families of our emplyees. The evening was a success and left everyone visibly impressed.
We thank you for your contribution.
