Thank you so much, Lori. It just warms me every time I look at the painting. Wow.”

“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!”
“It really is incredible. You have truly captured his black little soul. <3″
“Watching you work is so much fun. I promise when we reorganize that I’ll get a mat and a larger frame, but it looks awfully good already: David loves it!”
“It’s wonderful!”
“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.”
“You made my face leak! It is fantastic looks amazing and great thorough wrapping!”
“Hi Lori,
Many thanks for creating your beautiful portrait of Diane and Richard. Diane is amazed at how well you captured Richard’s personality. Even Leonardo could not have created such a meaningful piece of work! – Cheers, Richard”

“Lori created a masterpiece depicting the previous library director. This painting will be on display in the library indefinitely, for any and all residents and visitors to enjoy!”
“Lori was a joy to work with and the results are spectacular. She was very responsive to our requests and creative in her solutions to any obstacles.
The portrait of our daughter sleeping captures a very precious moment with incredible specificity–I can feel the texture of her hair and sense the warmth of her dreaming body whenever I look at this amazing drawing.
I was also very impressed that Lori was able to take good faces from separate photos to create an original portrait of the two of us, that really captures the closeness between us.
We are so glad to have these beautiful portraits of our daughter to treasure long after she’s grown.”
“Super excited to have this in our little house ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Thank you so much!!!!!”
“Lori’s portrait of our son is absolutely fantastic. It brilliantly captures his affectionate, goofy, mischievous nature, and fills me with delight every time I look at it.”
From our baby beginnings, we love to look at faces. What we see can comfort and inspire us.
My art sets out to capture the emotions and expressions of faces we love, especially faces that are no longer with us, or furry friends that make us smile. I want to offer a Presence, so that people may always feel the love in sight of their portrait.
