I wanted to write and Thank you so much for the lovely painting in Emma’s room. It is soft and pretty and perfectly compliments the rest of the room. The detail in each butterfly is amazing and the flower growth chart is beautiful. Emma loves her ‘big girl’ room as do I!”

- Natalie VanVliet, Mississagua

“The mural you have done in Aleena’s room is perfect and we love it like you would not believe. Aleena takes anyone who comes into our house up to see it. She has named all the animals and loves the pretty girl (her) on the middle elephant. Thanks to you, our bedtime routine now takes forever because she has to go around the room saying goodnight to each animal and count all the stars on the ceiling! Thank you so much – this room is by far the best in the house!”

Nitin and I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the painting. We hung it last night and it just looks lovely on the wall – it makes the room! The animals are a combination of sweet, playful and lifelike, something Nittin and I both appreciate. I know we are going to get a lot of joy out of the painting as will little Brevan. Thank you again. We enjoyed working with you and will make sure we tell everyone who the artist was!”

“Troy LOVED his portrait of Keisha…he was so emotional that he had to leave the room after it was revealed and he hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Without a doubt you have exceeded my expectations and this is something that we will cherish for a lifetime”

- Cara Hunt, Calgary, Alberta

“I gave my husband the wonderful portraits you created and he went crazy over them! He could not believe how well you captured our girls. He said these make our new house a home. And we both smile every time we look at them. We are so happy to have your art in our home.”

- Shawn Patt, Toronto

“My mom absolutely LOVES the painting of Tyler you did! She was amazed that you did such a great job from a photograph and knows she will smile each time she looks at it, remembering when Tyler would trot off to the newsagent to fetch the morning paper. Thank you for creating the best present ever!”
