“One of the best things about being an artist is trading work with another artist. I had the fortunate opportunity to trade with Ali Rouse, an artist I respect so much. My painting for a brilliant buffalo skull which now joins our collection of artwork we love and collect. It will have a prominent space in our home. Thank you Ali.”

“Ali Launer’s work was among the most engaging and compelling of our collection at Nussbaumer Fine Art. Clients are drawn to her creations, and her work sells very quickly. In our home her Sunburst Bull is admired by our guests and is a cherished part of our personal collection.“

“Ali is a ‘pioneer’ in the world of art. The intricate detail, movement, and color of each skull, quickly draws you in. Each uniquely different piece adds interest to any space or collection of art. Truly beautiful and eye catching.”

“Ali Rouse’s meticulously hand-beaded skulls are a contemporary take on a traditional art form. As you sit with each skull, the extra small beads and refined details makes it apparent that Ali is in a league of her own. Python skin, large cabochons, sterling silver, leather, glass beads, and various other components come together to breath new life into each piece – every skull just as unique as the animal it honors.”
