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!"

A Portrait That Became a Daily Tribute
Of all the portraits Kimberly has created, one stands out as particularly meaningful.
“I once painted a portrait of a Bernese Mountain Dog named Cassie who had recently passed away,” she shares. “Cassie was a Therapy Dog and would visit the sick at hospitals and nursing homes. She was a very gentle soul and an expert at working a room.”
Her owners wanted Kimberly to capture that joyful presence. “They asked me to depict her wearing her official Therapy Dogs of Vermont bib. These clients loved the portrait so much and have it hanging in their entryway, allowing Cassie’s memory to remain present in their daily lives.”
