"Your work is amazing! I haven't seen talent like yours (at any age)
in a long time."

but it's a truer statement just to say it's outstanding art."

Comics cover artist (www.tnielsen.com)
"I checked out your work, by the way, and I'm impressed! You're very
talented! I'm sure you'll be successful...You're multi-talented--poetry,
art, singing....very well rounded. That's really great! All I can do is
sing, so I hope I succeed! :)"

it's quite obvious she succeeded eh? And how! Christina is
a real sweetie. Check out her site at www.christina-a.com)
"It's beautiful!!!!!!!!! In person you can see her light eyes, the shading
of the clasp on her shoulder, all the textures from the woolly saddle blanket,
to the armor and leather. Even the eyelashes on the horse.... My point
would be, Gosh this drawing is incredible in person."
- Lynne, owner of original drawing "The Warrior's
Journey"
"I've been an artist for 20 years and I must say that you're absolutely
gifted!"

"You have an incredible ability to capture the very essence of a subject."

"Now you're going to hear praise from a professional artist. I've been
hired to paint murals in mansions and townhouses all over the Boston area.
Last year billionaire Disc Dean set me up in his Manhattan brownstone for
two weeks so I could paint a mural on his ceiling....Your work is incredible!
You lent Gabrielle enough light to truly capture her inner glow and left
Xena with the just enough darkness to reflect her history....the perfect
balance between light and dark....With the emotion in their faces and the
motion of the hair the entire piece takes on a life of its own."
- Doug Macintyre referring to "We Made It"
"I was blown away by your work and was shocked to see that you are just
16! I am just a photographer and no Art expert, but it is plain to see
you have a bright future in the art world. Your work for me had immediate
impact...and when I look at the close up "Perceptions" I feel like if the
woman in the drawing shifts her gaze slightly to her left she will be able
to look right into my soul."
- Ed Sharp, a wonderful wildlife photographer (www.sharpphoto.com)
"I love your work, there are no words that can express how it makes
me feel. I wish words were liquid, then I could shape them into my exact
meaning."
- Christian Reese Larson, New Age Musician
"I have only one word to say about your Stillness:
BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL!
BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I didn't say how many times I would say it, did I?"

done better."
