To Whom it May Concern,

   I have known Sarah Merry as a family friend and have witnessed her growth as a talented artist develop through her educational programs and more recently observing her work as a professional artist. I have purchased several of Sarah's works which I now enjoy with our collection of art.

   Sarah has applied herself enthusiastically as an artist with serious commitment to both historical and contemporary techniques.

   In addition to her creative capability, Sarah has energy, intelligence and an inquisitive mind. Her portfolio of work is well organized and speaks for itself. Among her peers in the Canadian Art Community, Sarah Merry is steadily gaining a reputation as an emerging young painter.

   I highly recommend and support Sarah's ambition to pursue a post graduate fine art program and feel confident of her efforts and potential for growth.

Sincerely,

Keith Muller
