 UGA PATRONS COMMENTS

"I first saw “Guardian of the Legacy” when he was a work in progress and instantly knew what a unique and magnificent work of art this would be!  As a UGA grad and football fan, I’m honored and pleased to be among the first owners of this fine art giclee print.  UGA VI carries on a proud tradition, and it is especially remarkable to have this art debut in the 50th year of the “Uga’s”.  His dignified profile conveys the renowned legacy of the University of Georgia and football.  He is beautifully matted and framed, and looks great in my home"!  -  Christine Biasetti - Roswell, GA   

"I had been looking for a good picture of The UGA mascot for my office for some time. One day I wandered into the Art River Studio just to pass the time while my wife was shopping in Historic Roswell. when I saw Jill Saur's "Guardian of the Legacy" I found what I was looking for and and it was quality artwork. I immediately put my name on the list and was lucky enough to get number 21. Number 21 is also the retired Jersey number of Frank Sinkwich, UGA's first Heisman Trophy Winner so that was an added bonus. I consider this print to be one which truly represents the quality that UGA brings to education and athletics and is a must for alumni and fans". - Jay Jones - Roswell, GA

"As an artist myself, I was immediately drawn to this outstanding rendition of UGA VI.  I was looking for the perfect Christmas present for my son who is a UGA graduate and fierce football fan.  This dignified print is beautifully matted and framed and is the epitome of “class”.  I’m so thrilled to have wandered into Jill’s art studio to find and purchase this “Guardian of the Legacy”. - Marie Brumbach - Sandy Springs, GA.    

“I was so excited to find the perfect gift for my husband’s 50th birthday present at  ArtRiverStudio.  Our whole family has been blessed with Jill Saur’s original watercolor painting, “Pillars of the Arch”, which now proudly hangs in our study. In the painting, Jill has captured the essence of the glory of ‘Ol Georgia using the UGA Arch’s three pillars of wisdom, justice, and moderation, leading us down the increasingly illuminated paved brick path toward the light. The strong yet whimsically illuminated oaks add the softness to the bold wrought iron black focal point of the Arch. Jill’s beautiful spirit is reflected in this outstanding and timeless piece of art. “Pillars of the Arch” will be a treasured possession of our family for generation to come". - The Steve Brantley family -   UGA Class 1979, 2007
