TESTIMONIALS
“Your shading is phenomenal. You’ve got life in your portraits. There’s just that ‘special something.’ Some people can’t capture that, but you can. I can tell they’re alive — the people look lively, there’s joy, there’s expression in their faces.”
I just wanted to thank you, Gloria, for the most amazing portrait you did of my wife in her wedding dress! Everyone has commented how perfectly it resembles her and how very expressive her eyes are! The portrait comes to life as you look at it! You were a joy to work with and a true professional! Thank you “for the most amazing gift I was able to give my wife! I can’t thank you enough!”
Gloria was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She gave updates and kept me part of the entire process of the painting I commissioned. The results were absolutely stunning and I am extremely impressed with her work! Would recommend this to anyone considering a custom portrait!
My first interaction with Gloria was after we lost our beloved Yellow Labrador Zachary in a tragic manner. Her warmth and compassion was endearing to me a complete stranger. I knew right then that I would hire her to paint Zack’s portrait. Gloria was amazing every step of the way. Communicating on each phase of the portrait and always fielding my questions. The final product is spectacular….I could cry. It’s perfect…it’s like having him with me. My family and friends all comment the moment they see this incredible likeness of Zack and many have said her ability to capture his personality perfectly. I would recommend Gloria with her skills and artistic abilities to everyone. She is amazing and her work proves it!
Thank you, Gloria, and God bless. This horrific journey has been softened by you and your kindness and Incredible TALENT !!❤️❤️
I got [the portrait]. You did a great job. Thank you so much. My neighbors and I were all on the porch. I had to open it, and [the portrait] looks just like her. I can’t say it in words how I feel. I can say this: I’m so happy — you’ve given me so much back in this portrait! I will never forget. It’s been a long road for me. I think of her every day. My family loves it. I’ve been telling everyone about you, and people are asking. I gave them a card, plus I posted it on Facebook. People are loving your work. May the light in your eyes stay bright, your hand stay steady, your heart stay strong, and most of al,l may your gift live on. Thank you and God bless.
I just opened it up to take a peek, and it looks so much more glorious in person. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on this and I seriously believe my mom will absolutely love this.
“I feel I must write and thank you for the picture of Luna you painted for us. We couldn’t believe our eyes when we unwrapped it. You really captured Luna, and the look on her face is perfect, just as in real life. She is hanging up right over my desk where we can always see her. We will treasure it always, and again many thanks. You are very talented.”
“Thanks for the beautiful picture of ‘my baby.’ We all love it.”
“We want to thank you very much for the beautiful picture of Moosey. Everyone who sees it loves it. Once again, thank you so much.”
“Many, many thanks for the wonderful gift of a portrait sitting you gave us for our fundraiser at Radnor Hunt. The event was a great success and your auction donation was quickly purchased at the silent auction!”
“I just had to write and tell you thank you so much for the beautiful portrait of Gypsy. It is not only a portrait of my cat, but it’s Gypsy herself! You’ve captured her expression and personality purr-fectly! On behalf of Gypsy, my husband and myself, thank you again! We will always cherish this portrait of the ‘Queen of the House.'”
I think you are a very talented artist. Your portraits capture the essence of human or animal. Very few artists are able to do that with such intensity as you do.
Gloria, you know, when I was riding home [after picking up Zephyr’s portrait], I would look at the portrait and I felt as though Zephyr was riding with me, just like the old times. Even brought a tear to my eyes — happy tears. Thank you very much for giving me back my Zephyr!!! We’ve had many dogs — all were special — but I always felt Zephyr was special!
Thank you so much for helping with the Blessing of the Animals. Your portraits are wonderful and added a very classy and artistic touch to the gift shop.
The portrait that Gloria created of our beloved Pomeranian Einstein truly captures his captivating personality and intelligence. This photo does not begin to reveal the exquisite artistry and loving care she provided…
We are deeply grateful to Gloria. She is a truly gifted artist.
Highest recommendation…
Thank you, Gloria, for a beautiful portrait of Baby! This was a gift to my son, whose dog she was, after Baby passed away, and when he saw it, he was so touched and amazed at how perfectly you portrayed her uniqueness, both in her beautiful markings and her expression.
Thank you, also, for your wonderful communication and commitment in getting these details just right, to my and your satisfaction. You are gifted, not just as an artist, but as a dedicated and caring person who clearly loves her work and bringing happiness and comfort to people through your art and your heart. We treasure this portrait keepsake!
“You’re awesome! I’m stunned! That’s beautiful. I’m literally crying at work. He looks so realistic and happy. [My friend] is going to be so happy — I’m so excited to give it to her! Thank you so much!”
“I have sent you pictures of the framed [portrait of Happy]…Your Happy is truly Happy – as am I! You did totally capture his eye – so real and warm. I hope you like the frame – your work hangs in a very open office area for myself. There’s a very good long-distance view of it through my dining room and library – an open doorway invites and frames the frame. Thank you so very much for your wonderful work, time and patience – and your support of our most important Ryerss Farm and all the very lucky horses who live there. I’m sorry if I tried your patience, but the end result is so like Happy and totally delightful to look at. All the best.”
