“This! A portrait of our beloved Zeke lovingly crafted and perfected by Lori. The likeness helps us miss him just a bit less. Thank you Lori for keeping our boy alive.”
“I love how both portraits capture my children’s very self in a way I think no other picture of them has done nearly as completely.
“This is PT at age three, but it is also him as a baby, and who he is now when he is five, and who he will be. The eyes especially, but all of it really, feel like you can see directly into the essence of who he is in a timeless way. This is my most treasured image of PT, and I would recommend Lori’s work to absolutely anyone looking for a portrait of someone dear to them. Her work is amazing!”
“This portrait looks stunning on our dining room wall with black and white photographs of Roo’s grandmothers! The spread is elegant and the drawing truly pops with life, so much more than any photograph can. The loving attention of the artist means every stroke of the pencil adds to the emotional depth of the piece, and captures the unique expression we loved to see on our child’s face at that age.
Lori is easy to work with. She communicates clearly at all times and delivers exactly what she says when she says she will.”
“The painting is amazing, and a completely delightful gift. Lori is a joy to work with.”
“I love it. It makes me happy.”
“It’s beautiful! It looks just like him! I’m going to put it on the wall outside my bedroom so I can say goodnight to him every night on my way to bed.”
“Thank you so much for the beautiful portrait of our dad. You have worked so long and patiently making sure each layer of paint was perfect. Down to the color of his badge and every detail of his face.
You made Marcia and me a part of the process. You always checked with us to make sure we were on board with every step of this remarkable journey.”
“He is beautiful. Thank you again for your continued support of the pantry.”

‘It went amazingly well! She loves it so much. It’s a masterpiece and you for sure created something my Mom will cherish for the rest of her days.
It brought lots of tears but she’s so grateful for this to treasure for ever. My brother Andrew said it was a pleasure to meet you [when he came to pick up the painting]. We all can’t thank you enough.”
