  • Realistic colored pencil drawing of a brown dog with a pink collar lying on a blue surface.

    I feel like I can reach out and touch her!

    “I can't recommend Kim highly enough. She is both a talented artist and a delight to work with. I recently commissioned her to do a portrait of our family dog, Willow, as a surprise birthday gift for my husband. When he opened it, he cried. My husband couldn't believe the uncanny resemblance. His words: "I feel like I can reach out and touch her!"
