“We searched for a caricature artist that could create a fun, unique, and

realistic portrait of us to hang in our house as something different to have than what most people are used to seeing in homes. Many artist have their own way of

capturing an individual’s portrait. You can see this in how they draw jaw lines,

mouths, eyes, etc. which takes away from the individuals uniqueness and makes

them look similar to other people’s caricature portraits.

Shelly was the artist we chose to do our portraits because she can capture an accurate picture of the people she works with and can bring any type of

character to life that they would like it to have in the portrait. Compare her examples

to other artist examples and look at how much moredetailed she is. She will capture for you a snapshot that will be unique, real, and will last a

lifetime as a conversation piece.

I will have Shelly do future pieces for me in regards to my work and would

be happy to refer to her any person or company needing to commission an artist.”
