Testimonial

Carol’s artwork was the perfect touch to our long-awaited wedding day. She captured the feelings, the colors, and the gorgeous venue in a way no photograph ever could. The guests loved watching her paint our ceremony! She was professional, easy to communicate with, and clearly experienced. Highly recommend!
