Anna H. says, "Sylvia is an experienced and creative artist and art consultant who deals with upcoming and major artists alike. We have commissioned paintings from her that hang in our home. She is formally trained and can paint in virtually any art style from any from time period. She has also helped us with the sale of an investment art piece. With her guidance and expertise, we were able to sell the print for three times the original price. She can do it all - paint, illustrate, art consult, and she's a joy to work with!!!!"See more

Natalie B. says, "Jared was my illustrator with Heart Spark Illustrations, and he did an amazing job with the style I was looking for. I've had other illustrators do work for me and they didn't even come close to what Jared could do as far as the style I needed for my curriculum projects. Jared was also honest with what he felt comfortable doing so integrity was awesome. Pricing: The price I felt was fair for the multiple maps I had him do. Thank you for the well-done job Jared! I plan to use him in the future with other projects."See more

Judith C. says, "I saw the work the artist did for her wedding invites and I loved it so much I asked her to make something for my fiancé and I. It’s a painting of us as our favorite Pokémon 💙 my fiancé was very surprised when I showed him the completed work. He loved it. I even made a water bottle for him with the painting on it. There was a lot of communication. They kept me informed every step of the way. Even gave me options of how I wanted the Pokémon posed etc. really great to work with."See more
