“Amy’s cards are beautifully illustrated on high quality note paper. Whenever I need to write a note I find myself going through all the cards, enjoying the artistry and the whimsy! Last Christmas, I commissioned Amy to create an illustration of my daughter’s house. The illustration was gorgeous, my daughter was thrilled, and I was so pleased to have surprised her with perfect gift!”

“My husband and I took an acrylic pour class that Jim Bradley taught and it was fantastic, we really enjoyed ourselves and it’s opened up a new medium for us to be creative in. Jim is not only a patient and talented teacher but a truly inspiring artist as well. We purchased one of his acrylic paintings for our new home and we’ve had friends comment on how beautiful it is - so my recommendation is to either take a class or buy some art either way you won’t be disappointed! Thank you Nancy Palmer”

“I have known Ken Wildes since about 1995 when I read in The New York Times that he designs, builds, and installs Robert Adam style plaster ceilings. After meeting with him and checking on some of his previous work, I hired him to do the ceilings in my new, not-yet-built Georgian colonial house. Not only did the beauty and quality of his work meet and exceed my expectations and even my hopes, but I went on to use him on all new or renovated construction with which I have been involved in building or designing since that time. The workmen building my home were so impressed with Ken's work that they told me it forced them to do their best work to meet the very high standard Ken was setting. The final product has given me nothing but joy since its completion about 20 years ago. He has grown as an artist over that time, and his later works are even more magnificent than were his earlier pieces. I have told him many times since his first project for me that he is an artist, not just a craftsman. Ken also possesses extraordinary sensibilities, taste, and vision. The attached photograph of my office in a suite at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan is a case in point. We were faced with a seemingly impossibly feminine space and a directive to incorporate, not discard and replace, the predominantly purple, red and white fabric covering the walls. Completely on his own, Ken came up with the hunter-green, trimmed-in-gold center surrounded by a ruby red border for his newly designed ceiling that magically transformed the space into a room with the distinct feel of an English gentleman’s club or library, a design and color scheme which I promptly and gratefully approved.”
