“Allison is all about pleasing the client. We had decided on a certain faux wood-grain finishto cover a white fireplace mantel. When I realized it was too orange (near the end of her application), she helped me find the right tone and reapplied a new finish that was perfect with no added charge. Lovely to work with...has a very fine aesthetic. Highly recommend her.”

“Lucy is an extraordinary artist. She has the ability to capture the essence of the details and render them in a softness not seen in the work of other artists. Plus she is delightful to work with. She produces a sketch for approval and keeps within the budget. You will not be disappointed.”

“I just received my Cutty Sark model boat and it is just what I have wanted since I was a kid. It was carefully shipped and was undamaged and is beautiful. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is excellent and for the price quite a bargain. Thanks to all at Old Modern Handicrafts for making such a fine product.”

“Beautiful artwork, purchased a metal print 24"x30" of a larger original acrylic painting 48"x60". Wonderful quality metal print, very colorful, thin and easy to hang, shipped fast.”

“Working with Vickie on my client's project as well as my own personal projects has been very satisfying. She is very talented and creates masterpieces when it comes to the art she leaves behind. She is enthusiastic and has a great attitude as she loves what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone that desires an artful place in their home or business.”

“Hired Charlene to complete a mural for my home. As she was out of state she completed the painting on a canvas then came here personally to hang on my wall. It is absolutely beautiful; everyone who walks into my home is drawn to this mural and compliments us all the time. I would highly recommend her for any mural you are looking to complete.”

“While teaching a photography class at CBS Dichroic in Orange, California in February 2015, I had the pleasure of meeting Veronica Gonzalez and Roberto Pinon of Evettro Glass. They were students in the class and brought several of their marvelous stained glass panels to photograph. The designs and construction of the widows were of professional quality. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them for a project where I need stained glass windows.”

“I have been the Chairman of the Philharmonic House of Design five times. Eloise has donated her talents to many design homes with us, the last this past June, and her work is always exquisite. She is very talented and just keeps getting better and better because she is constantly adding to her repertoire of techniques. She is very professional and a pleasure to work with.”

“I hired Rebecca to paint some boulders in a landscaping job I was doing. She ws talented of course, but most importantly cooperative! Truly a pleasure to work with!”

“In the summer of 2006, Anita painted an amazing mural at our house. You can see photos on Anita's website at http://theboldbrush.com/murals5.html. First of all, the artistic "vision" was incredible - Anita came to visit our house, we talked about possible locations for the mural, and subject matter. She brought many books and photos with ideas, talked to us about our lifestyle, careers, interests, and hobbies, and toured our house and yard. She then came up with the brilliant suggestion of an "interior" window that showed our backyard, and showcased aspects of our garden (which is a major source of enjoyment for us) - a basket of veggies, our cat walking on the fence, our tools propped against the fence. Look closely and you can see very personal touches: a tea towel from our kitchen, my husband's gardening gloves, his glass of iced tea. The larger stone wall is an exact duplication of an actual stone wall on the opposite side of the room (fireplace) - where she LITERALLY created stone patterns by tracing the existing stones. The attention to detail is breathtaking. If there actually WAS a window there (and in the additional walls behind it), you really WOULD see our garden, so this is a very clever concept. She worked on scaffolding in our living room for several weeks - it made me think of Michaelangelo (no kidding!) - and during that time managed to seem practically invisible (and I work at home, she did not disturb me at all). I've had workers in the house before who left a mess, but Anita cleaned up every day, took great care to protect the piano and furniture and so on. She also helped me figure out the accent pieces sitting on the shelf, stereo speakers and so on. That completed the look! Almost 8 years later, we still enjoy the surprise of first-time visitors when they walk into the room. Our mural is a wonderful conversation piece, a dramatic personalization of our house, and something we admire every day. Thanks, Anita!”
