“This pencil drawing is SO much our dog and my husband will be one happy man on Father’s Day.  Beautiful.”  Mary Jo W., Golden, Co


I love my painting of “Barley”.  I keep telling everyone that it’s the best $500 I’ve ever spent. other than saving his life.  Barley has a spirit and an energy that I thought couldn’t be captured in a painting, but it’s HIM.  I look at his canvas numerous times during the day and always smile.  It really does warm my heart.  I didn’t think I could love him any more than I already do, but the painting really makes me appreciate how much he loves me unconditionally.  I can’t thank you enough for giving that gift to me.”  C. Cooper, Denver, Co


“The painting of my collie “Ian” just arrived and I can’t stop looking at it.  It’s beautiful, so rich and full.  Thank you.”   C. Doleshek, Southport, Florida


“Your tender rendition of our “Pepper” has helped us feel more at peace and moved our healing process along.  We will treasure this portrait always.”   S. Almy, Evergreen, Co

Stanford, Boulder, Co


“This oil painting brought tears to my eyes when I opened it at Christmas.  Your brushstrokes captured “Ginger’s” personality perfectly.” M. Drewek, Golden, Co


“With great anticipation I tore open the box to greet our new painting you so lovingly did of our spunky funny girlie puppy dog, our Cairn Terrier “Cokie.”  You captured her precious personality and we love that we chose you to paint her.  She will soon be framed to forever be with us, even after she’s gone.  What a wonderful painting.  Thank you.”    P. Fallek, McAllen, Tx

“I just can’t put into words how much I love this portrait of our Cocker Spaniel “Jasmine.”  You did such a beautiful job capturing her bouncy spirit.  The colors are fabulous.”   J. Jones, Arvada, Co

Chatfield, Colorado Springs, Co

“I want to thank you for the gorgeous painting of my daughter and our mare.  It brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.  You did an excellent job of capturing all the special qualities I love in them both:  love, honesty, trust, compassion, strength, gentleness.  You have made their inner beauty shine through, which I truly “feel” every time I see the painting..  I love it.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”  MF Marchase, Lakewood, Co


“Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my pet portraits.  We will treasure these lasting tributes to our kitties and we look forward to displaying the paintings in our new home.”    M. Johnson, Evergreen, Co
