We hired Jose Solis Creative Art Services to repaint a sign on the side of our business that had been fading and weathering for many years. Jose responded quickly, was on-site within days, did the work while our business was open, and left us with a beautiful sign for a reasonable price. We're specifically dealing with major construction issues near the shop and we had a challenging and crowded environment for Jose to work in. It was very important to us that the sign-painting not add to the confusion, and Jose was able to do all his work with minimal impact to our clients. We're very happy and would gladly recommend Jose Creative Arts to anyone who needs quality, craftsmanship, and professionalism in their signage.

My husband and I had a new fence installed that goes up to our front door. We have basically no yard, and wanted to brighten up our area. We have always loved the downtown murals and street art and wondered if anyone would help us out. We contacted Jose and he got right back to us. We gave him our ideas and he sketched it out first, then got to work. It was AMAZING to watch our sad little are transform into a magical garden. Jose went way beyond our expectations. The colors are vivid and the art work is gorgeous! If ANYONE wants to put some pizazz in their living space or has an idea for a project, please call Jose, he was wonderful to work with. Thank you Jose!!!

I have had work done by Jose' for many years, both business projects and personal as well. His art is outstanding as is his sense of just what you have in mind. He has done beautiful murals for the food room at both St.Vincent de Paul in Salem and in Portland. He produced realistic marble effects on pillars and on our walls when we were in business downtown. Every project is exactly what we have wanted and so colorful and we have always gotten many compliments on all of them.

Jose Solis is a dedicated master artist who always pours his heart and soul into every project he undertakes. I recently commissioned Jose to create a piece of art for a national liturgical conference. The piece came in on time, under budget and was the center piece of the conference and received rave reviews. I hightly reccomend this gifted and talented artist.

What can I say? I commissioned Jose to reproduce a 1930's style sign for my barber shop. All he had to go on was a digital picture I had taken with my cell phone of the piece I wanted reproduced. Jose actually managed to produce a hand painted sign that I would consider BETTER than the original I had shown him! Everyone thinks it's a genuine antique sign and can't believe it when I tell them it's a reproduction! Jose was very personable, his prices were extremely reasonable and he got the job done faster than I expected! I WILL be contacting Jose again for my future needs.
