Melissa worked on this beautiful piece of my wedding featuring my dog that passed away and was unable to then be in the wedding. She was responsive and worked with me with every little edit and critique I had. Most importantly she was affordable and reasonable with her prices! While our little dog is surely missed, Melissa did an excellent job of carrying on his memory and what it would have looking liked had he been at our wedding.

Melissa is AWESOME! If I could, I would have selected all five top value choices. She is professional and her drawing is superb. She took a small bit of information and created a masterpiece that will stay in my family for generations to come. She was very responsive and meets her deadline. This was a wonderful experience for my first time using this type of service.

I wanted my cabinets painted and Melissa was the one! She answered all of my questions, made me feel comfortable (in my own home), and overall did excellent work. I would re-hire her anyday! Thanks Melissa.

Melissa did an amazing job with the mural on my daughters wall. It brought me to tears the first time I saw it. Truly great work.
