"Words can't say thank you enough for the painting done of my Mom's dog Rosie. My Mother was SPEECHLESS when she saw the completed portrait since sadly Rosie had recently passed away. It captured her personality 100%"

"For my Mom's birthday I asked Rita to do a portrait of my Mom's first horse, Sam. Rita did a wonderful job and captured Sam's sweet nature on paper. My Mom still loves her portrait and cherishes it and the memory of Sam."

"Rita's love and enthusiasm for wildlife shows in her work and personal life. That love and enthusiasm saturates each painting giving us a memory of the emotional connection between us and the environment around us.
Certainly straight from the heart and onto the canvas..."

"When I opened my gift and saw my horse Rocky captured in a painting I couldn't believe it. I was truly and pleasantly shocked. Everyone who sees the painting and knew my Rocky see his personality captured down to the core. Words cannot convey my feelings upon receiving this remarkable gift."

"As an animal lover, I have always wanted a portrait of my beloved dog Same and my wonderful horse JR but as many of you, I have always had difficulty finding an artist that has true work that can be admired. That was until I had the pleasure of seeing work done by Rita Rauscher.
It was shortly after I lost my friend Sam that I started searching for someone to do some portrait work. I always felt that I lost a piece of myself in his passing. He was a great friend and always had a sympathetic eye, so understanding, thoughtful and full of intelligence.
It was the eye in her work that captured me. Rita has a unique way of giving you back a piece of what you lost. She totally captures their soul and makes you remember all the good times and the kind looks they give you when you are having a bad day.
I have had the great pleasure of having Rita do some additional work for me and I am very happy to say that every piece has been fantastic. She recently did a portrait of my best friend JR who after 21 years is still with me and while I get to see his kind eyes every day I know that when the most unfortunate day comes that I will always have a piece of him with me in Rita's work."
