What They’re Saying . . .

Took My Breath Away

” I must say the pictures on-line do not do it justice! It is so vivid and rich, it literally took my breath away when I saw it. It also has an ethereal feel to it, almost like a fairy tale. I could not be more pleased with my purchase of my “The Angel of Joy!”

A Perfect Lavender Sunset

So I finally unboxed your painting and hung it in our Tennessee house. It is perfect. And it reminds me of our three fantastic days at that hotel. My wife and I were texting this afternoon. We both agree those were our three favorite days. And so your painting will keep us there always.

I Fell in Love!

“I received your watercolors today and I am thrilled. They are lovely!  My father’s parents came from Oleggio, which is just south of Lago Maggiore, so that painting reminds me of my dad & his mother. I fell in love with two more. They are so bright & happy & will look great on my walls. Thank you!”
