LIFETILE Testimonials
Working with Rufus is a great collaborative
process. He's able to translate an emotional or intellectual idea into
moving works of art. He is able to take a basic design concept and
improve upon it in the final installation.

We've incorporated LIFETILES murals as
one of the signature pieces of our new Outpatient Center. We couldn't
be happier with the entire process, and with the ultimate outcome.
Our patients and staff love them.

One of the most eye-catching features at TSCK
Aquarium is our pair of LIFETILES murals. We are constantly
receiving comments praising their creativity and genius. Rufus managed
to depict aspects of our wildlife in an innovative way such that the
murals do not go unnoticed.

The LIFETILES mural is a tremendous
success and has added an exciting and unique dimension to our
repertoire of exhibitry. Rufus has truly captured the essence of human
and marine mammal interaction.

Our outdoor LIFETILES murals are
technologically fascinating and yet elegantly simple in their animated
story telling. The mural series is an engaging, accessible,
educational, and unique form of public art.

It's such a joy to watch Science Center visitors encounter the LIFETILE murals for the first time. They frequently stride right by them, only to back up and do a double-take as they realize the images are 'moving'. I've encountered Rufus' work at several places since that installation, and it's always fun to think to myself, 'I knew him way back when.'

LIFETILES are the perfect addition to our
exhibitry at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center. As
a manager, I appreciate the unique visual appeal, the durability and
low-maintenance of this wonderfully interactive exhibit. Rufus is fun
to work with, very responsive to our needs, and is committed to
creating and delivering a high-quality, biologically accurate display.

Working with Rufus was one of the most rewarding
aspects of designing the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame.
His exquisite LIFETILES panels in the museum's rotunda are one
of the most talked about and spectacular elements of the museum!
