It was a genuine pleasure to work with Lena. She was receptive to our ideas and concerns. More importantly, she was infinitely patient with a committee comprised largely of police officers and former officers with little or no understanding about the artistic process.

The bronze statue compliments the interior of our new bank, and has become a very nice addition. I would recommend Richard Young and Lena Toritch as sculptors who can design and create a statue to enhance any building.

The sculpture turned out wonderful and now presides on a very prominent place over seeing and “protecting” the park. Truly a fantastic piece!
