The moment we opened the portrait, there was a sense of comfort looking into the eyes that seemed alive. Ashley had captured Lucy's essence from her amazing ability with a brush and paint!

Adam actually drew one subject at a time, so everyone didn't need to attempt to remain still at the same time. The whole time Adam was polite and clear on his instructions. Adam had a professional setup and several works of his art to observe before making your decision. We have our artwork prominently displayed and we plan on using his services again. I would highly recommend Adam for a private event or if you see him at a festival check him out.

I was putting together a party for my niece and her newly wed husband to show everyone their…read morewedding video and slides at a local theater. I knew it was going to be a large space and the first time many people were going to meet. His and Her side of the families. It was just a casual event with some catered food but at the last minute I thought I wanted a surprise to help entertain people and to break the ice. Just a few days before the party, I found Jeff Harris online who does sketches, portraits and caricature drawings of people. I took a chance (at the last minute) and sent him an email and he responded instantly and was more than willing to come to our venue and do digital drawings of the guests. It's like those traditional caricature drawings but so much better. The colors are amazing with full complete backgrounds. Jeff arrived early to the venue and was setup in minutes. I had guests just standing around in clumps keeping to themselves. The moment Jeff turned on his light and setup his easel guests immediately went into the chair and Jeff began to sketch them on his electronic easel. The guests started flowing and watching what was going on. Our main event was watching the wedding video on the big screen but Jeff sure helped with the in between time keeping guests entertained and interacting. Jeff even customized the pictures with the name of the event and location. It was digitally included into the drawing. I joked that we could have easily projected Jeff's sketching onto the big theater screen and watch him work all afternoon. After the event everyone was showing their digital framed prints they all received on the spot. Jeff would personally chat with the guests while doing their sketches. Everyone had nice things to say about Jeff and had personal stories about him and his artistry. I couldn't believe how easy it was to add something like this to my party. Jeff made it so easy and effortless. He stayed until everyone had as many drawings as they wanted. I hope other yelpers add something like this to their own parties or work events. As a bonus, unlike the traditional paper drawings you don't have to worry about losing or getting it home safely. Your drawing is kept digitally so you can have it, share it, post it, enlarge it, make it into a t-shirt, or print as many as you want at home.

It's actually irresponsible of me not to have done so sooner. This is a cool little gallery with lots of vibe. Every now and again they have exhibits with showing open to the public that are a lot of fun. Viewing art, sipping wine and meeting fellow artists, designers and art admirers is always best when in a welcoming environment. Even when they aren't having open exhibits you're able to pop in and have a look around and make purchases. Always something unique and eye-catching here. They've done it right. Check it out if you get a chance.
