"I wanted to formerly thank you and commend you and Athena LaTocha in the creation of the wonderful mosaic mural behind our sushi bar. Your three-panel interpretation of Hokusai's "Stormy Sea Off Kanagawa" has truly become an identity for Kamehachi - the focal point of our restaurant. I am so pleased with the way you were able to take my ideas and confidently execute exactly what I imagined, and more! I have received countless compliments on your work from customers frequenting the restaurant, and I am often asked about it.
I hope that someday we can work on another project together, for you are a talented artist with fabulous ideas and a discerning eye. You helped me to create my vision at Kamehachi and for that I am forever grateful."
