Happy Clients
“We have a life size paper mache statue of Jimmy Buffett that was in need of some repair. Divitto and Andrea restored and even recreated a piece that went missing. Their work was EXCELLENT!!”

“You created the perfect holiday gift for us. We sent them a picture of a sculpture we'd seen at the Louvre and their "re-creation" of it was perfection! They brought a picture to life for us and would recommend them again and again.” lways a pleasure to have Divitto and Andrea come to the Marathon Branch Library. We eagerly look forward to his papier mace programs. And the children always have FUN! Thank you!”

“DiVitto Kelly creates very cool, custom sculptures to compliment any décor or occasion. I’ve been working with DiVitto for more than six years and appreciate his creativity—both realistic and whimsical. I especially like the fact that each piece in one-of-a-kind, just like the artist!”

“Your shark sculptures are the perfect decor for my eight-year-old son´s bedroom. They are not too babyish, but not too scary either. His blue "Sharky" hangs above his bed, but the smaller "Sharko" and "Thrasher" get carried around as his friends. He says, "They are awesome!"

"I could not have been more pleased with the sculptures DiVitto and his wife, Andrea, made for my school´s media center. They even delivered them all the way from Florida to North Carolina. The students and teachers alike enjoy the sea animals. DiVitto offered excellent suggestions when I was trying to decide which sea animals to purchase. I could not recommend more reputable and talented papier–mâché sculptors."

Does your place of business, educational facility, or children’s room need a creative boost? Add colorful, lightweight (wall, hanging, or free standing) papier mache sculptures! An 8-foot dolphin, great white shark, tyrannosaurus rex, or vibrant butterfly may be just the thing to turn an ordinary room into something special.
Who can benefit from our creative know-how? How about Schools, Libraries, Nature Centers, Aquariums, Zoos, Museums, Day Care Centers, Restaurants, Resorts/Hotels, and Children’s Bedrooms.
Past projects include five (3-foot) animal masks for a school play, a 6-foot popsicle for a local business, a 6-foot tiger for the World Wildlife Fund, and a 10-foot tree for a child's bedroom. For the Taste of Chicago Food Festival, we made a pair of 5-foot turkey legs. And for Art Basel in Miami Beach, we created a six-foot blue horse. Other clients include Celebrity Cruises, Key West Key Lime Pie Company, and the Waldorf Astoria in Boca Raton.
If it walks, runs, slithers, crawls, flies, swims or jumps, we'll make it!
“I had the privilege of working with DiVitto Kelly and his lovely wife Andrea on a project. I needed two 5-foot tall turkey legs to use as advertising props for my food booth at The Taste of Chicago Food Festival where we have sold turkey legs for the last 30 years.
The thought came to me a little late in the process last year as we only had about three weeks to get the project done. DiVitto assured me that it would be no problem and kept me reassured throughout the process. He periodically emailed me progress pictures so I knew how the legs were coming together and what they looked like. Even with that information in hand, I was never quite ready for the final product that blew me away when I opened up the huge crating that they came shipped in.
What masterpieces!
I have used them (turkey legs) for the last few years now and couldn't be happier. I have had several offers to buy them from me, but I am not going to let them out of my sight! The first year that we displayed them at the top of our booth, our sales climbed by about 20 percent. I guess if you want to stand out above the crowd, there is no better way than to call upon DiVitto and Andrea to make you a masterpiece like he did for me!
