    Renkins- Mom & Jasmine forever in my heart.. says:

    "I enjoy her crafted hand made ceramic art or is it clay humm more clay, still I am always happily surprised at the creations she comes up with from her own imagination and how it looks like it has a message to tell or a feeling to give. I think the world or her work. she is wonderful to talk to a good friend to have, so please allow your self to meet her and see her work for your self and see what is inside her work and see they all have a feeling to import. I especially LOVE the Angels.

    Hugs~

    "Connetta Jean is a "poet warrior," as a friend of mine, Father Joe, would say. Words are her genius and the camera is only an accessory. She's also generous with her time and one of my favorite people in all of Flickr Land, the sort you hope to share a cup of coffee with one day because you know you'd walk away the better for it."

    "Connetta Jean has an amazing knack for uncovering the heritage of rural Ohio. The landscapes and buildings she discovers are imbued with a sense of rich bleakness. The buildings in her images are often derelicts, but they maintain a sense of dignity. Her poems are well suited to the subjects found in her artwork. She take us on a most fascinating journey."

    "Some of his pictures of rural and desolated houses and farms are breath taking, always reminding me of the temporality of things and the hidden beauty in the least expected places.

    "Et in Arcadia ego"... this phrase comes to mind when I see his work."

    "" The eyes of my eyes are open"E.E. Cummings-Connetta Jean has the "eye" for the natural,simple beauty that God above has gifted us with here on this earth.I always feel as if I have just been on a wonderful drive through the countryside after a visit to her stream.Her visions of the beauty around her ,as well as her wonderful poetry and whimsical folk art sculpture are truly inspiring.I am proud to call her a friend *"
