I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathy and the stunning pastel portrait she created of my…read moredog. From start to finish, working with her was an absolute joy -- but what truly sets her apart is her grace and flexibility. When our original commission had to be cancelled, she handled the situation with such kindness and professionalism, and still delivered this breathtaking piece for me. That alone speaks volumes about her character. But the artwork itself? It left me speechless. The detail in my dog's fur is simply extraordinary -- every layer, every texture, every wisp captured with such care and precision. His eyes are alive on the page, full of the warmth and personality that anyone who knows him would instantly recognize. Kathy didn't just draw a dog; she captured his soul. The soft pastel tones give the portrait an almost dreamlike quality while still feeling incredibly true to life. It's the kind of piece you stop and stare at every time you walk past it. I've already had multiple people ask who the artist is. If you're considering a pet portrait, or a portrait of any kind, do not hesitate. Kathy is a rare talent and a genuinely lovely person to work with. This piece is a treasure I will cherish forever. Thank you, Kathy!

Kathie is absolutely amazing and talented…read more I was trying to prepare a unique birthday gift for my wife, but I have limited experience and knowledge in fine arts. Luckily, I found Kathie on Google and Yelp. She replied very fast and explained everything very clearly. Then, we choose to do a half figure oil painting in 30 * 24. This portrait was worked from my wife's photo. After asking me about my wife's preference in arts, Kathie decided to change the original background (sky and sea) into a more classic one. I could imagine it wouldn't be easy to make two different pictures into one, because the artist had to adjust coloring, lighting and a lot of details very carefully. During the progress of painting, Kathie kept me updated and asked my feedback, until I felt it was perfect. The final work was astounding and totally beyond my expectations. My wife looked elegant in the portrait (of course in person as well) with abundant beautiful details on her hair and dress (which must be very time consuming for the artist, thanks Kathie). Because I lived overseas, Kathie also helped me a lot with packaging and shipping. She tracked the package everyday, until the painting was in my hands with perfect condition. My wife loves this gift very much. It's not only about the skills, but also the passion of the artist that we can tell from the portrait. For me, it was such a wonderful experience in preparing this gift, which I would like to share with all my family and friends. Thanks again Kathie for all the efforts you made in painting this portrait. Looking forward to see more of your fabulous works.

Aaron created bespoke artwork for us that celebrate our heritage in macadamias, that was created into a mural, merchandise, and expanded also into community events in Hilo as well as Honolulu to celebrate our partnership. Mauna Loa is the heritage macadamia brand from Hawai'i, and it was an honor for us to work with Aaron to give back to the community that we are both a part of. Aaron is from Hilo, and worked with the local schools that he went to- Kamehameha Schools in creating the mural. We threw a Mauna Loa x Aaron Kai community event that was extremely well received, and our staff have commented on how the mural has lifted morale at the plant, as it is such a beautiful piece that everyone sees on their way to work. Aaron is a pleasure to work with, professional, and has become a friend personally since the completion of our project. We hope to work closely with him again in the future.

Unfortunately, it received some damage requiring a good portion of it to be restored. Carole was recommended. It was a process and took much effort but she was able to restore the mural and what she was able to do was beyond belief. Some areas so little was left, but was able to keep the mural true to form. She is an incredible artist in her own right and we are very happy she consented to do this job.

This review is long overdue. 4 years ago I remodeled my bathroom. Coming from an interior design…read morebackground, I'm extremely particular about who I have work on my home. I put a lot of time, money and creativity into the remodel, and therefore I was very particular about who I wanted to work with me on it. I hired Carole to paint back in the details on a vintage, Asian TV cabinet, that I turned into a bathroom vanity. Needless to say this wasn't an easy job. The vanity was initially orange and black, however, I had it painted a light turquoise color. When this was done, it completely concealed all of the intricate detail work underneath it. My former faux painter tried to come in and repaint all of the details back in, however, wasn't able to. The vanity has raised figures on the doors, which take a very delicate touch to get just right. There's also intricate gold fretwork around the doors as well as on the sides. When Carole came in, we sat down together, and discussed how I wanted it to look. We went over colors, different shades of gold, the overall feel of it, etc. She painted in not only on the raised figures but also elaborate artwork on the doors as well. Luckily, I had taken pictures of the cabinet prior to having it painted, so she was able to reference the previous artwork, and not just duplicate it, but make it 100 times better! It turned out to be a masterpiece! It is one of the star attractions of the remodel. Everyone who sees the bathroom is absolutely starstruck at how unique it and beautiful it is, and Carole's expert hand was an integral part of why that is. I can't recommend her enough and if you're lucky enough to have her to work in your home, you'll feel the same way. Her skills are easily on par with those of the old world masters. I hope to work with her again in the future, as I have a couple of projects in mind that I would like her to bring to life.Thanks again, Carole. You were a joy to work with.

This is an excellent company and I'm so happy with my decision…read more Let me start by saying this is the first time I've hired a muralist and I am also a first time father. This was important to me. Jeanine took the time to listen to what I was looking for and suggested a few things to help grow my idea. I loved that. She came over and was so kind and really took time to understand this was more than just a job; this was something my kid is going to grow up with. She took measurements, and even took color swatches of the carpet and furniture to make sure we matched the color palette! She quickly mocked something up and a few days later I had a photoshopped mockup for approval. Once we approved it we setup a date and I paid the deposit. Marcus was the artist that was assigned to this project. He was so kind and wonderful in my home. He let my wife and I peek and see progress, and would check in with me if he had any questions. He's a really talented artist and executed my vision faithfully. At the end of the day my wife cried (with joy), we have our incredible mural and I couldn't recommend this company enough. Really pleased with how it turned out and I will be calling them again for my next mural or art project.

I have very high standards and was afraid that it wouldn't come out as nice as I was hoping or envisioned in my head. As soon as I met Lauren on the first day to go over what I wanted all my fears went away. She was exactly what I had been looking for. I gave her a few pictures of what I liked and was thinking. She helped me pick out the basic colors for the mural and then a week or so later sent us a sketch. I had one revision to the sketch and she promptly sent it back to us in about another week. She had originally quotes us 4 days of painting time and she was right on. She was on time everyday or gave me enough notice if traffic was delaying her which was no more than 15 m or so. She is AMAZING and I was so thrilled with the way it came out!! I show everyone the pictures of the mural and have gotten complements from everyone.
