Dear Jared,

On behalf of the Doctors’ Volunteer Clinic of St. George, I would like to provide an expression of sincere gratitude for your participation in the 2008 Reflections Gala. Your amazing, and widely recognized giclee’ of your original portrait of Clint Eastwood was a coveted piece on display at the beautiful Entrada at Snow Canyon. This piece raised a significant sum of money for the extremely worthwhile cause of assisting children without health insurance. Additionally, it created quite a frenzy with regard to the bidding process, as there were many people in the audience who wanted it for their own collections. What is most impressive to all of us is the superior level of talent displayed by such a young person. An e-mail containing a link to your website was recently sent to all those who attended the Reflections Gala at which your piece was sold, as so many expressed that they were eager to track your progress as a talented artist. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to hear that many people who were exposed to your work through this event will be looking to commission you to do custom work on their behalf.

Many in our community will proudly look forward to the day you visit our community which is very arts driven. A feature story about you and your art will be a very special part of a magazine called REFLECTIONS, planned for publication and distribution in early 2009.

Best regards,

Pamala Y. Englert
Chairperson – Reflections Gala 2008
