They did a WONDERFUL job, we got our stone done 4years ago and it still looks today just as great as it did when it was put in! They were very patient with us with our custom design and helped us to create the exact look we wanted! I would highly recommended them to anyone!

Jim and his sister Lisa are wonderful and caring people. Jim has an exceptional gift in his talents. By which he creates new items and repairs existing items.

My wife and I we gifted a tall statue of Our Lady of Mount Carmel which had damage throughout her image. Jim definitely restored her to the beauty she deserves and beholds, as well as, to baby Jesus, in her arms.

Thank you, Jim and Lisa, for the wonderful work you do for so many.

Our company recently entrusted a bust of Pope Leo XIII to Jim and his staff. The nose was completely broken off and there were several chips in the remainder of the statue. What was returned to us was a beautiful piece of art, cleaned up and refreshed with paint. We couldn’t be more thrilled. We’ve chosen to continue our relationship with them as we are having them fully restore a 135 year old statue of St Raphael and a painting of one of our founders. We absolutely trust Artista Studios with the restoration of our treasures.

From the moment I went into the studio I knew I had found the right place to complete my Dad’s headstone. It was a very specific stone which Lisa and Jim were able to locate and bring to CT. They were a pleasure to work with and dealt with all my reiterations of wording. They also helped to level the ground at the cemetery plot. They cleaned my grandparents stone as well. I would highly recommend Artista Studios.

Our experience with Artista Studios & Monument Works, LLC, resulted in the creation of two monuments that perfectly captured the memorialization of our family for our cemetery plot. We are grateful to Lisa and Jim Bria, two very creative, talented, knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate people, for guiding us through the entire process for the creation of our two monuments that beautifully match the design of a monument that was already in place. Many thanks to Lisa, Jim, and their entire staff.

Jim Bria is a master at his work...a true artist! He is also a good businessman. He helped my family to select the stone and design for my father's monument. It was perfect. He took a lot of time to talk to us via phone and via email. He answered every question with patience and gave us many options. He walked us around the local cemetery so that we could see real samples of the stones and work. He and his assistant Lisa gave us lots of good options for stones that we liked and fit in our budget, no over selling with this man. He made an awful task bearable. The end result is something my father would have loved. It gave my mother some peace to feel that she made the perfect choice. She knew what she wanted and he gave her great advice and info and never tried to change her mind. I wish all businesses were this easy to deal with. He is local, reliable, knowledgeable, talented, and compassionate; everything is explained up front. Highly recommended.

We traveled from Western New York in order to find a business to provide us with a headstone for my late Aunt. We went on line and had anticipated visiting a number of businesses. The first business we went to was Artista Studios and met the owner Jim and his wonderful assistant Lisa who were both very gracious and accommodating to help us with a headstone. Jim created an extraordinary headstone and I was very pleased with Jim's work and also that of his assistant Lisa. They are both charming individuals and take great pride in their work. I can not say enough about how well everything came out and would recommend them.
