A few words from a few patrons who live with my artistic Hearts.
I just want to say how much I love my beautiful wooden heart that I bought at Robert's studio. It is quite an experience standing in front of all his hearts as it brings up all kinds of emotions. Some of the hearts have pieces missing, some have cracks and splits and some are perfect. So many occasions these hearts make perfect gifts for. If you are looking for an amazing wedding gift that will be cherished forever I highly recommend Robert's hearts. I chose a perfect one (smooth with no blemishes) and have recently decided to purchase another one. I am going to give one each to my little grandsons so they each will always know and be reminded of how I loved them with all my heart, (I also think they will always look awesome in their 'Boy' bedrooms) . See you again soon Robert!

Hi Robert, I recently came across your work and was immediately drawn to it. Your artistic hearts feel so distinctive, expressive, and full of emotion that truly resonated with me. I recently had gone through a trying time in my life, and this heart spoke to me. This heart with imperfections will be constant reminder that my heart will heal.

Hello Robert ! I walked into the Wickaninnish Inn today and fell in love with your hearts. I purchased a fabulous heart to add to my collection from all around the world. It will take pride of place in my gorgeous cottage in Tasmania. Many thanks for your creativity,

Robert - This either our third or fourth year that we have purchased a grouping of Hearts from you for wedding gifts. We have found these gems to be the perfect gift for family or friends on their wedding day. For a gift, what could be better than a piece of handmade art with such symbolic meaning.

From the moment we saw your work Robert, we understood why it is collected. The heart we purchased brings a sense of calm and permanence to our space. It speaks quietly of the craftsmanship in it, and its enduring beauty will be appreciated for many years to come.

Hello Bob, Thought we would let you know that the Heart we bought to present to our father on the occasion of his retirement was very well received. It was the perfect gift for him as he has given so much to our family over the years, and it all came from the Heart. We are so pleased with coming across your site and finding this beautiful gift. It was a wonderful process to deal with the artist through out the purchase.
Thank you once again.

Robert, I wanted to let you know that my husband to be - proposed to me with a Heart that he purchased from you. He had attached my engagement to the back of the Heart, then figuratively presented his heart to me with the ring attached. So unique!

Just a quick note. We gifted one of your Hearts to our daughter on her graduation from university. Her reaction of tears of joy upon receiving the gift confirmed we had made the perfect choice for a gift. The process of purchasing from you was very simple. Please don't ever stop making these jewels.

Robert, I wanted to Thank you for making the purchase of a Heart for my Husband's birthday so simple. It was wonderful to deal directly with you, the Artisan. The Heart arrived within the weeks, perfect timing. The photos don't do justice to your work, which is outstanding.

Robert - the work of artists like you, who use time honoured techniques to ply their craft is important. We believe quality crafted items made with thoughtful design and skill rather than mass-produced is what moves a society forward. When one measures the pleasure that hand made items like these give, there’s really no comparison. The sentimental value of the heart we purchased from you is immeasurable.

Hi Robert - I was surprising by the connection I made to your carved hearts that was immediately felt. Wood is the perfect medium for this form which is refined, and the finish gives one that silent invitation to touch it. Surprising how wood will do that. This is not decorative art, it is soulful work. Blessings to you.

Hi Robert - My husband and I recently purchased our first home. Our circle of friends surprised us with a house warming party a couple of weeks ago. A dear friend of mine came bearing a gift of one of your amazing hearts. We were overcome when we unwrapped it, it will always have a special place in this home and any future homes we may own. What a wonderful gift.

Just a quick note Robert - One of your hearts was given to me as a gift, but it quickly became something more. I had hung the heart in my hallway, and each time I pass it, I’m reminded that some objects are not meant to impress - but to be felt. I feel a remarkable connection to this piece of artwork.
