"The artwork of Teresa Forst has been whimsical and inspiring. I've know her to be in family entertainment industry with a selfless commitment to the happiness of children."
"Teresa's creativity with balloons is outstanding. I remember one time when she was working next to us at Super Saver as we were doing a fund raiser for Relay For Life. Teresa made a Relay logo from balloons on the spot. Her ability to interact with children is also outstanding. I highly recommend her."
"Teresa is a friend who is a fellow clown with Calliope Clown Alley#40. She has a caring, genuine, fun-loving personality and is able to see the good in everyone.
"Teresa ("Shades") is the greatest. I've observed her countless times at the Lincoln Farmers Market, Fallbrook Farmers Market, church events and many other community events. She brings an unparalleled passion and commitment to her work. Her love for kids is hard to miss as you watch her interact with smiles and lots of patience. Teresa has a huge repertoire of balloon creations and is always learning more fun things to twist. She has recently added face painting to her bag of tricks and already excels in that skill. Teresa is definitely the complete package. I recommend her wholeheartedly."Teresa is an excellent balloon twister and enjoys sharing that expertise with others who want to learn to twist, whenever she can."
