A delighted young girl who first saw her portrait recently exclaimed, “It’s just like I’m there!”

Whether the portrait is painted with the natural light of an indoor setting, or within the changing lights of nature—providing a tangible and remarkable sense of person and place is the gift Ariana brings.

“The painting arrived yesterday afternoon.
I’m really floored! I just sat there in a sort
of shock last night staring at it… Mimi is so
perfectly Mimi, even the hair! It makes me
want to cry because one fleeting moment of
childhood captured on canvas makes me
realize how many moments have gone
by unnoticed.”
–K. Cocqyette, Moorpark, CA

“I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the
painting!! It is amazing to see something so
beautiful represent me. The background turned
out extraordinary and the coloring is wonderful.
You created such an incredible piece.”
–B. Katz, Pasadena, CA

“We just opened the painting!!!
It looks even more incredible in person. We
will enjoy it every day of our lives!
Thank you will never suffice!”
-J. Bruss, Easley, SC
