Your work is fantastic. I can feel the life emanating from the figures in your painting. Truly great work.

Shansi: I live in St. Thomas and have always admired your work. I love your website. Congratulations, you must be so proud. Your work is phenominal. Diana York - March 21, 2010

What a pleasurable interlude, looking at all your wonderful work posted here. I have always been a huge admirer of your work, and hope one day to meet you in person, and perhaps even have one of your paintings on my wall. I think you have an extraordinary eye - we here in the USVI are blessed to have you chronicling vignettes of island life in such beautiful detail.

You are a wonderful artist! Your detail is amazing!

These paintings are so beautiful! I can almost hear the people talking. They look so warm and alive; your paintings really engage me and make me feel as if I am there with them. Spectacular!

Your work never ceases to amaze me! As an amateur photographer (budding), I'm stunned by the realistic details of your work. It's my dream to own one of your originals... Brilliant!

Dear Shasni. your pictures move me. I would love to see them in real life. Living in the north of England that is unlikely to happen. If I win the lottery I will open a gallery. Bless you

Shansi, simply sublime. Never have I seen paintings of West Indian culture done with such love, compassion and expressiveness. I can hear the subjects speak when you portray a scene. These are forever paintings.

Very beautiful art pieces. I love the quality of your portrait paintings. It must have taken you quite some time to finish a piece, but the quality is abosulte top class. Keep it up www.justportrait.com

Hello, I was given your site link by a very close friend's sister, Carmen Nibbs. Her sister's name is Terry Sterling, both are from St. Thomas. I was born in VA, however have traveled to many countries. That brings me to a place where I can express how I feel about your gallery...... incredible. I feel the rhythm of your work my sister. I think you capture the expression and emotion of all the subjects of your work. Whether landscape, portraits, etc., you feel the moment and emotion and place it gently on your canvas. Continue to tell life's stories through your work; it's our gift to this world. With so much negative news, it's refreshing to feel encouragement from your wonderful works of "ART"! Please check out my site: www.timgilesafroartsandcrafts.com

Shansi, Your work is amazing. Such a talent to be able to capture so vividly true Island beauty....inspiring.

Your work is awesome!!! I can't believe how talented your are. Take care

Shansi, Hi! I know it has been awhile since we last talked (two years!), I ran across your link in an email so here I am. Once again I say, Your work is fantastic! We all need to hear this from our fellows from time to time. I sure wish I was on island! We have ben blasted by winter nastiness! Keep painting lady!

Dear Shansi, your art is a feast for the eyes and a medicine for our souls which are sometimes polluted by an unsensible society. I can watch for hours your paintings like you would do in front of the ocean: feeling in peace with yourself and the whole universe...

Hi Shansi, Your works are so beautiful and real that they make me homesick! I wish you great continued success. Jan Myers (Lynda's mother)

You are truely blessed and the world is lucky to have you! Thank you for the beauty! Take care and all my best from California!

Your work is as wonderful as you are. My lovely little sister.

Shansi, press on with the extraordinary talent that God has bestowed upon you. I was turned on to your work when you were the featured artist in Art Fusion. Your attention to detail in all you works is what truly captivates me. I can't believe how well you capture everything about your subjects, right down to the lines in the palms of their hands. Good luck and continued success in the future.

Terrific site. Congratulations. Please visit us at http://www.dennisharting.com and let us know what you think.

Hi Shansi!! It's your second cousin Jesse that you saw last summer. finally got to see the site... i love your work. i cant believe the level of detail you manage to incorporate.

Your work is amazing...better than ever. I am eager to see what you will produce in the future.

Shansi, It's always a great pleasure to your painterly view of life and the world

Hi Shansi!I always knew that you would follow your own path and be fabulous at whatever you chose to do! Your work is amazing....anyone who sees it will definately have a better understanding of our culture here in the VI! Debi (your OLD gym teacher)

Dear Shansi, I choose my words carefully in hopes of matching the beauty, creativity, and the simple complexities of humanness that is brought to life in your art. There is an invisible doorway that is painted within your creations that allows the viewer to step into the scene being depicted. I am awestruck by your work. Thank you.

A displaced (misplaced) St. Thomian, currently in America, I LOVE seeing your work. And what wonderful work it is; how homesick it allows me to be. Thank you, Shansi. Continued good fortune.

I love all of your work. They are fabulouso. You definitely have a talent that words cannot describe. Thank you for your help with my paper.

Your artwork really captures the beauty and culture that makes the VI special. Bet Hero, Bet Blanco is by far my favorite!! Continued success Shansi!

Great work my sister...From one artist to another...Blessings

Blown away is what I'd say. Like everyone else said,"Exceptional". The pains taking details, the vibrant colors, the realistic shadows are all there. I'm saving to get something of yours.Blessings upon you, my dear.

baby you have a great talent

When someone look at your work, I can imagine them wondering, "Is it a painting or is it a photograph?" Awesome works of art. Your artistry reminds me of Norman Rocwell. It's so realistic like the paintings I used to admire as a little boy in the post office by the Grand Hotel. Keep up the good work.

My daughter, Elynne sent me your website. WOW!!! I am just in awe. The vibrant colors and fine detail of your work is exceptional! Your "Coming Home" was the exact view I had captured in my mind when returning home in April. Continued success!!!

WOW!! You are so talented, and your art work is very inspirational! You may not have known that I myself am an artist, but I have not been doing much in a long time. All the best and future success, your friend Elynne.

The very thought, one see him/herself toddle in family life, "memorialize" as a child at home again; An adult today.

What a gift! I am overwhelmed! You are awesome! I thank God for the gift you have.

VI Child, I'm pleased, and I'm proud of you.

Your work is truly Magnificent and I would love to own a piece someday soon. You are very blessed and I wish you much continued success.God Bless You.

A fellow St. Thomian childhood friend turned me on to your website and your work. I grew up in St. Thomas and seeing your work brings me right back there. Beautiful pieces.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful..I am amazed at the intricate detail capturing cultural stories of my adopted home.

I am a fellow Virgin Islander and I must say your work is beyond words!! The intricate details are breath taking and shows your artistic genius. I love the way you've captured our culture and the true essence of who we are as Virgin Islanders. Press on in giving us these masterpieces. I wish you much success!

Absolutely breathtaking and true to life!

Fantastic, I'm impressed. Sold, I will buy one now. Shansi,paint one of a West Indian mother giving shark oil to her child, on the back steps.

Shansi your oil paintings make the people portrayed, "come to life". Your art work is truly a blessing from GOD. I wish you many, many, years of continued success--always put GOD first in your life and he will bless your art work.

I remember seeing your paintings years ago and I thought they were magnificent. I feel that I am seeing the person in the flesh in your paintings...you are a genius...prodigious talent

I love this website! I wish you all the best. Love, Gabriela

wow. I still can't stop looking.

Hi Shansi! I am your new step-sister in law, I think? Mama J has talked so much about your paintings, but I just didn't get it until visiting your website. Wow. I feel like I just got to stand in the kitchen with some women, witnessing an intense moment. Admittedly, I would be hard-pressed to be invited into such a kitchen in real life. I really appreciate that you put me there. I'm a fan!!! Love, Lou

friend of joyce mangin... continued success, shansi.... lynn

You are an extraordinary artist. You must be so proud of your work and great talent
