Lisa is an extremely talented artist who specializes in acrylic paintings. Her use of the knife is…read moreexquisite and really brings her work to life. I particularly enjoy her many captures of nature and the calming effect of the environment. Lisa, like her art has a radiant personality and is truly a joy to be around.

I only recently met Lisa through my wife Kimmy and I must say Kimmy has very good taste in people…read more My mother was an accomplished artist herself and I think Lisa shows real talent. She uses mainly Acrylic Paint and a knife to paint and has a gift for perspective, color, and balance. I was especially impressed by her subtle use of blue in a small painting of birches, which really pops out at you almost like 3D. I know too how difficult painting water can be and she tackled that nicely in a recent boat painting. Again I was both surprised and pleased by her use of color here. I am getting ready to publish a new book of poetry and hoping that I will be able to talk Lisa into doing some painting that will capture the mood of my work! Keep your eye on this young lady! I know that I am!

A few months ago my boyfriend and I started looking for engagement rings. I really wanted an old…read moreTiffany's setting that I had seen many years ago, but I couldn't find anyone selling a ring like that. I didn't want to compromise so I knew I needed it custom made. I researched online and saw that Willow Glen Diamond Company made custom rings, so we casually stopped in to talk to them. Tina (she is so sweet!) talked to us about what we wanted and then introduced us to Terri who sat down with us to educate us about ring shopping. We were amazed by her knowledge and honesty. She was clearly not pushing a sale. It was obvious that she wanted to help us regardless of whether we bought from her. We had intended to "interview" several different stores before making a choice, but after we walked out the door my boyfriend said exactly what I was thinking, "we aren't going to look anywhere else, this is the place and I trust Terri." Our trust (and even friendship!) continued to grow with Terri and we picked out diamonds and designed the ring. I have never seen a ring more stunning in my life. It turned out even better than I imagined. I thought a custom ring would come close to what I wanted but this exceeded what I was even dreaming of. I don't know how that's possible but I'm in love with my ring and so grateful that I found WGDC. Thank you so much, Terri and team, for making this ring come to life!

I give my strongest recommendation for Jorge as an artist and muralist. We hired Jorge to paint a…read morelarge octopus mural (approx. 12 ft x 40 ft) across 2 walls of garage and we are BLOWN AWAY by the results! The process from conceiving the artwork, to trading draft sketches back and forth, to the actual execution exceeded our expectations. The quality and attention to detail on this large mural is extraordinary (see close up photo for details). This artwork brought a personal and unique new aspect to our home - and made out outdoor space so much more amazing to enjoy. If you are looking for a muralist to personalize your space, you must give Jorge a call!

We first got in touch with Bree, who was very helpful and informative. Once she captured some information from us, she transferred us over to Jorge, who went above and beyond in all areas. Jorge was easy to communicate with and constantly kept us updated throughout the mural project. He was extremely organized and professional. He made sure that we had a finished product that fit exactly what we were looking for. His work is insanely awesome and it would be hard to believe that it was all done by hand if you did not see him do it in-person. For future murals and artwork, we will definitely be returning to Koichi Arts!

I was…read moreimmediately inspired by her pencil portrait work, so I decided to ask if I could commission a drawing made for my adorable grandparents. I had a nice photo that was taken of them many years ago, and Debi truly brought it to life. I couldn't believe how realistic the portraits were when she was done. It captured them so well, and was more life-like than the original photo. It's so nicely detailed, with a sparkle in their eyes - I absolutely love it. Every time I see this illustration hanging in their den it makes me happy I went to Debi's studio that day, because it inspired a unique gift that surprised my whole family for Christmas and immortalized the people I care about the most.

Thank you, Deb!
