Testimonials

Mother’s Day always provides a challenge to find the perfect gift for mom. When I discovered Myra’s portfolio I knew instantly she had the artistic talent to execute my vision. After a brief review of my requirements and a week of time I was rewarded with an amazing portrait of my mom’s prized Siamese cat. The piece is so lifelike you want to touch it. Thank you for delivering more than I even imagined!
