Portraits

“I am really overwhelmed by the excellence of the work you have created.... It’s as if you were having a conversation with her, asking her questions that allowed you to know just enough about her to show, in portrait form, the person you were observing and talking to.  Another aspect of the portrait...is the respect you show for your subject.” -- Susan M.

“Naomi’s beautiful portraits of our children illuminate the hallway.  Guests consistently marvel at them, our kids love them, and we are amazed at how Naomi found a way to evoke the warmth and sparkle of each individual.  My husband says they are his best birthday gift ever.” -- Sarah D. L.

“Naomi did an incredible job on charcoal portraits of our children. Both pictures are accurate images of their physical features, but more importantly capture their personalities. She worked from one sitting and many photographs, which made it very convenient for our busy children. She made modifications until we were completely satisfied with the results.”  -- Ronnie-Gail Emden

“Naomi captured the playful spirit of my son in a beautiful charcoal portrait for our home.  Wonderful work -- thanks!” -- David Kinder

Caricatures

“Naomi was a huge hit at our annual holiday party.  She quickly and professionally created individual works of art for all, wrapping them for transport, creating many smiles. I would definitely recommend her services for any gathering.” -- C. Sokol

“Naomi did a great job at our overnight graduation party!  Despite the challenging shift -- 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. -- she arrived early to set up and was self-sufficient the entire night.  She engaged the students in meaningful conversations to get a glimpse into their lives, and her caricature portraits impressively reflected not only a keen likeness of the students, but also subtle aspects of their personalities.  Naomi was dependable, professional, and friendly, and I highly recommend her to others.” -- Patty B., overnight graduation chairperson (Catlin Gabel)

“Naomi’s portraits are realistic, fun, and were a favorite activity at our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah party.  She worked diligently to draw as many portraits as possible in a 3-hour period.” -- Carol and Joe

“Your caricatures were one of the most popular activities at our senior class party.  The kids appreciated your humor and good cheer in putting them at ease as they ‘sat’ for a portrait, sometimes done in groups of two or three friends.  Your clever likenesses will be a lasting memento of their high school years.  You have five stars from the parents and students of this class!” -- Alix G., overnight graduation party organizer
