"Drawing is an act of commitment and of laying bare one's soul,
yet perhaps should be kept as routine as a simple daily walk in fresh air."
~Karen Gillis Taylor
"The most wonderful Mother's Day gift I have ever received! I opened my eyes to find my two children by my bed, holding large picture frames (backwards) and saying "Happy Mother's Day." They turned the frames around and I was speechless, which is very rare. After fighting back the lump in my throat, I was able to totally grasp what I was looking at. These portraits, which are so life-like they are almost like photographs, were the perfect image of my beautiful children. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect gift. They were both captured at a wonderful time in their lives, with smooth skin and sparkling eyes. I cannot walk past the wall where they hang now without pausing, smiling and feeling like they are with me at that moment. They are almost looking back at me. I will treasure this beautiful gift forever."

The drawings that Brenda sketched of our children were beyond what we imagine. They were absolutely beautiful. Brenda captured the inner beauty in everyone of our children. You can see their true personality through her work. The most amazing part of the drawings are when you look into their eyes, you feel they are right there with you. We are so pleased and feel so blessed to have been able to have Brenda create such a beautiful piece of work that will be with us forever.
