"It is absolutely beautiful Roane! I had to open the box immediately and see it and it took my breath away. Steve will be so touched and honored to have a piece of your work which is so personal. The hands are so lifelike and meaningful. I loved the pictures of you as well as you working on the sculpture. We will treasure this piece forever and find a very special place for it in our home." - Anne Ikenberry.

"Roane Deckert's wood sculptures are monumental in their presentation. The grain and finish of the sculptures evokes a connection with the life-giving properties of the wood which enhances the beauty of the sculptures themselves."

- Sandra McKenzie Schmitt, Pottery & Sculpture, Washington, IL.

"I had the privilege of seeing Roane's work at his Grand Opening at Wonders of Wildlife in Peoria, Illinois. His sculptures are truly a work of art! I was amazed at the softness that Roane could project with some sculptures and the power of movement behind others. Each unique sculpture tells its own story, just follow the grains in the wood. Poetic!"
