Joel,
I bought this same fabulous mobile in 1995 or 96 when visiting West Stockbridge. It's been giving us smiles ever since. My kids don't know life without it! Now, it's quite faded and falling apart. I'm absolutely thrilled to see that you are still making it!! Can't wait to enjoy its splendor once again! Thank you thank you!

Thank you!
Your mobile was a Christmas Gift to our daughter. She picked it out. It is one of her favorites! -Kathleen M.-Skokie, IL
Joel, Thank you so much for working with me and efforts to get the 🍊☀️💝custom Tri-Lumen in Thursday’s mail. Sometimes one just needs to act and splurges in a last minute spontaneous way. Take all the time needed with the other order.

Dear Joel,
Turns out your work has been resonating with me for more than 16 years - Our indoor piece is your "Vintage" (dated 2004)!!! It has given me joy pretty much every day since I got it. It’s staying in its place of honor above our front stairway. Thank you so much!
- Catherine B.
Joel,
The Metal Wheel arrived safely today... it is a beautiful piece. Thank you. - D. L.
Joel,
My parents absolutely loved Calder mobiles, and when they found yours they were ecstatic! They purchased your Lumen model, and had it hanging in their house for years. After they passed, I hung the mobile in my living room, and have also enjoyed it for years.I absolutely love your designs myself, and am looking forward to receiving a new Lumen that I can hang and continue to enjoy! Hans M. Farmington Hills, MI
Dear Joel,
Just hung mobile. Love, love, love!!! Proud owner of 2 Hotchkisses.
-Phyllis A.
Joel- thought you'd have fun seeing your whimsical "Champagne Kiss" artwork hanging in our front foyer leading into our family room. We had fun looking for just the right place in our home where everyone could enjoy it 😊!
Thanks so much!
-Susan & Bob

We recently purchased one of your mobiles from Warwick's Book/Gift store in La Jolla, CA. We are so happy to be enjoying the movements and the aesthetic appeal of this addition to our living room. Thank you for your creativity!
Best regards, Christina J.C.
Dear Joel,
Thank you so much!
It’s brand new. You rock! Many thanks for the quick turnaround. I love my Tri-Lumen art piece,
Billie G.
Joel, I bought this (Lumen Purple) at the Chicago Art Institute over 20 years ago, one of our favorite house art pieces - and the kids, now in their 20’s, always mention it as one the few family possessions they want to keep in the family.
Still perfect after all this time!
Joe S - Chicago
Joel:
Just a quick note to express our "artfelt" thanks for your excellent work on the Tri-Lumen and the gel mobiles. In addition to your Leaf and the Cloud creations, those two pieces again add a renewed sense of saturated color and just plain fun to our home.
Live long and prosper! John and Sandy K.
Dear Joel, I've purchased many Hotchkiss Lumens and Tri-Lumens over the course of my life - for family and friends and (of course) myself. I have some vacation time coming up. to whatever degree you'd ever allow my wife and myself to visit your studio (however briefly), we'd be forever in your debt. your work transforms and transfixes everyone who sees it.
THANK YOU for your contribution to our lives !!
T.F. -San Francisco
Hi Joel - I stopped by your store just before Christmas to buy Richard a mobile. I wanted to let you know that he really loves it! It’s on his desk at work and everyone stops by now to see it. Thanks for your help in choosing the one he wanted. Best to you and Sandra in this new year.
See you again soon, Nadia -Rhode Island.
Dear Joel,
My beloved "Lumen" mobile (purchased in 2004) has occupied a special place in my old office and now my new office. I practiced as a clinical psychologist where I treated patients of all ages. Regardless of age, everyone has enjoyed this beautiful "floating sculpture" artwork hanging from the ceiling. 12/29/17
Thanks and best wishes,

Dear Joel,

Hello Joel,
Just wanted to let you know that the Dragonfly arrived on Friday and in perfect shape. The UPS driver commented on the excellent and extensive packaging job. I have it placed and really enjoy watching its subtle movement. I am sure it will be a conversation piece once people see it.
Thanks for all your good work.
Best wishes,

Hello, I wanted to share a photo of your fabulous mobile I bought a few weeks ago to give to my husband for Father's Day. We have the perfect spot for it and we all love it. It really is spectacular. Thank you for creating such a wonderful piece of art!
Kindly,
Jane
Joel,
Thanks for making my wife’s Christmas morning, a smashing success. She had purchased a mobile from you in 1996 (she thinks) while visiting your studio. Through the years the Florida has taken a toll on it, so sadly and with heavy heart she discarded it. If you could have seen her eyes light up this morning!…..Thanks again Terry- Florida
Joel,
It arrived Christmas Eve at about 5 o'clock thank you so much we're about ready to put it up I'll send you a picture of it!!!

Hi Joel,
I just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying our Alumena. We finally got it hung last week since we were back and forth to CA for 2 funerals.
We put it in our bedroom and just lay on the bed watching it trying to relax.
The colors of blue and purple are so pretty together.
Thanks again for a great find and we are glad to have found your store.
-Take care, Kitty B.
Hi Joel, this is just to let you know Liz and I received your mobile recently. It arrived well and we quite enjoyed unpacking it! We will hang it as soon as out house painting project is done. It was very nice to meet you in early August and tour your workshop. Hope to see you again soon,

Hello Joel...
Your "Lumen Vertical" I bought in Santa Barbara was the most wonderful "art object" from the US. It's hanging over my bed now and I love it so much. Andrea - Germany
I was in a hospital this past week having a test in a MRI type of machine and one of your Lumen mobiles was hanging from the ceiling to calm and distract the patients. I thought it was just beautiful and got your name from the technician. my daughter/son-in-law are having a baby in October and I thought it would make a beautiful mobile for over the baby's crib.
Thank you, Cory P.
You created a huge silver and black mobile for our home about 4 years ago. People's mouths fall open when they see it. It hangs from our 3rd story ceiling in our atrium filled with light. Even from the 3 rd floor, parallel to the mobile, it's beauty and interest is not diminished. Lovely joyful and gracious all at once. You're a true gift to creativity.

My wife Susan & I are happy once again.
Keep up the good work."

Dear Joel... "I am so excited about my parents getting this for me this year. I saw my first Hotchkiss mobile at SFMOMA about 30 years ago and fell in love with their lyrical qualities it is like seeing music. Not too many years ago, I entered a home at Sea Ranch on the Sonoma County Coast and walked into another Hotchkiss mobile. It was brilliant, hanging in the high ceilinged great room in front of a 180 degree view of the sea. My mom just gifted me the airdance and it is amazing in its fluidity as each element gently spins gracefully in the garden breeze. A beautiful addition to my garden! Thank you artmobiles.com for continuing to produce your magic! I'm so glad you continue to work!!!"

Dear Joel,
if you look back over your records, I'm sure you'll realize how much my husband and I enjoy and love your work. We have three lumens in our living room, one in our bedroom, "Calypso" in small bedroom, "feather copper" in diningroom, and "feather green" in our little camp, as well as "Fresco Sunrise" in our kitchen. Plus a Black and White Lumen given as a wedding gift last year.

When I got mine, which was within a few short days of ordering, I was so pleased. They are beautiful, well made, works of art. As soon as I hung it up, the lazy, peaceful movements created a relaxing serenity in the room. Ahhhh... Thank you for sharing your wonderful craft and talent.
