"Reminder of a past & successful career in nursing!"
I gave this to my sister who just retired from nursing after 46 years. It was a unique & perfect gift. She was known for the nurse who wore red shoes, so I was able to paint the shoes with red fingernail polish to add one more personal touch!She displayed it on a table at her retirement party....I may be getting questions about where I purchased it; I will be happy to pass along the information about this artisan and your company site.Thank you for helping me find this unique gift.

"For the Nurse in your life"
When my daughter graduated nursing school we gave her this. It is fun and quirky but a good reminder of the work she does everyday.

"Love this artist!!"
We now have at least 4-5 pieces from Armando Ramirez. His talent is phenomenal! This was purchased for our youngest son to hang his car keys and Covid mask on,in his room. This was one of those gifts that is soooo hard to let go of and actually give away. I would love one of just about everything of Armando Ramirez ,we have his amazing deer sculpture that has a place for a votive candle and it is hands down my most favorite piece of art!! Highly recommend getting something from this amazing artist ! His small people sculptures have made charming gifts through the years but his larger work is absolutely exquisite!!!

"Clever auto part sculpture"
I bought one of these pediatricians for my nephew who is a pediatrician. He loves it and told me it is very cute.I also bought one for my personal doctor. She loves hers, too.Armando Ramirez is very creative--a true artisan.. I have bought several of his sculptures and have loved every one of them and so have the peopleI have given them to.. I turned the Barber sculpture into a Retinologist giving an eye injection. When I look at them, they do not seem like they are made out of scrap auto parts. All I see is a delightful showpiece.

"She love it"
Luckily, I found this beauty surfing the web looking for a gift for my wife for our 6-year anniversary. THIS SCULPTURE IS PERFECT since I work in a metal recycling company and our first outings were to parks.
