PET PORTRAITS

We met Iris at the American K9 Paws and Pumpkins Fall Fest this October and absolutely loved her display of artwork. Everything she had on display was beautiful and demonstrated how talented she is! We chatted for a while and she was so kind and passionate about her artwork and when we left her stand we were immediately speaking about how we would love to get a painting of our dog, Murphy. We actually won her raffle for a free Christmas ornament and all-occasion cards! We emailed with her and sent some pictures of Murphy and she got back to us very quickly with a sample to show us what would go on the wooden ornament – we were both so pleasantly surprised with how perfectly she captured him! The painting looked exactly like the photo we sent in and really showed his personality. When we actually received the ornament, the quality itself was exceptional and we can’t wait to hang it on our tree this year! This experience has been so nice and I look forward to getting more paintings done by Iris in the future! ~ reviewed by Samantha R.

While I was scrolling on Facebook, I came across a post on Annapolis Moms by Iris highlighting her Personalized Pet Portrait Christmas Ornaments and was immediately interested by her work. Iris was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish and I was super excited to see her creations of my fur baby! I thought the previews she sent me were amazing but the ornaments are even more beautiful in person! It’s going to be hard to choose which one to keep but I can’t wait to see my mother’s face on Christmas when she opens hers! I cannot recommend Iris enough and look forward to always having this beautiful ornament for years to come to hang on my Christmas tree! ~ reviewed by Heather W.

My neighbor had a wonderful and mellow calico cat named Tigger. Whenever her grandchildren would come to visit, they would chase around Tigger who was getting too old to be manhandled. So, she would come over to my house to hang out until the grandchildren left. Tigger knew she continue her mellow ways without disruption at my place. She loved to be petted below her ear, purred like a loud motor and was more obedient than my other neighbor’s dogs. When I returned home late at night, she would come running over to greet me as I jiggled the keys to open my front door. We spend many a late night together on my front step just sitting. After her passing, Iris helped me pick out a photo of her and painted an extremely realistic portrait of her. Every time I see that painting, I feel like Tigger is in the room with me. ~ reviewed by Steve H.

Toffee is my first dog and I am so happy to have her painting as a keepsake. When Iris determined the photo I gave her wasn’t the best to help her produce a perfect result, she quickly asked me for a different photo. After seeing the final result, I was extremely impressed with how well she had captured my Toffee! Thank you, Iris! ~ reviewed by Joanne W.

Iris did a fantastic job and I am so pleased with it! My precious fur baby, Shadow, crossed the rainbow bridge and having a portrait of him felt special. I was so impressed by how Iris managed to capture all the details, it turned out so amazing! It served as a beautiful reminder that the house was once filled with wagging tail, wet nose and lots of love. Couldn’t have hoped for anything better. I would definitely recommend Iris for her great communication, professional interaction and for being so genuine in delivering this amazing artwork! ~ reviewed by Amanda C.

OTHER PAINTINGS

I recently had the pleasure to obtain a painting by a local artist, “Iris”. When we met, I requested a painting of a goldfinch, a bird which holds a special meaning to me after the passing of a very dear friend. The medium she recommended was water color on canvas, although she is also skilled in other mediums. It was fun to collaborate with her on what I was looking for in the painting.

Upon receiving the completed painting, I was very impressed with the shading and blending of colors, as well as the details of the bird. It showed a very talented and focused artist.

I would highly recommend her! ~ reviewed by Nancy F.

Iris is an incredible artist with the gift of using different mediums to showcase her unique ability. I currently own the Black Swan. I saw the original displayed in an art show and HAD to have it. She was able to make a beautiful replica in a short time. It now hangs in my office space. Highly recommend. ~ reviewed by Shirley C.

Black swans have always been so special to me since they are so rare. I loved how Iris transitioned the shades into one another with this watercolor on paper. I’ve had many compliments from my friends who’ve seen it displayed in my living room. This painting is very special to me. Iris was great to work with! ~ reviewed by Nancy F.
