I'm honestly very disappointed with my experience. I GOT…read morePIERCED BY KEYS!! I originally booked for a back surface piercing, but when I arrived, I was told the proper equipment for that service was not available. As a professional, that should have been confirmed before booking. Because of that, I was pressured into getting back dermals instead. My appointment was also rescheduled from 1 PM to 4 PM due to personal reasons, which was already inconvenient. I still showed up only to wait an additional hour because the piercer was late. Due to the time being reschedule I ended up spending $100 To get there. After the procedure, one dermal visibly looked shallow compared to the others. I brought this up immediately and was told to "wait." Nearly 3 days later, when I gently removed the bandage, that dermal came out completely with no snagging or trauma. The other three are perfectly fine, which makes it clear that one was not properly seated. I was told I would receive a refund due to the inconveniences, I received it later. Overall, this experience involved multiple inconveniences, lack of proper preparation, and a piercing that failed within days. I would not recommend booking unless you are prepared for rescheduling issues and incomplete setup. I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision.

I started planning our wedding about 15 months in advance. My now husband and I had settled on a…read moreFrench Provencal venue outside of Austin, Texas - and I was looking at ways to make our wedding special. I really wanted it to have a French feel without being super over the top themed (I am half French, and knew that we were going to have actual people from France at our wedding). My husband had just vetoed a photo booth, so I had a thought, "I wonder if there is a watercolor artist who paints portraits, kind of like they do in (albeit my favorite) touristy part of Montmartre," and quickly started googling on a Friday evening. My efforts paid off in spades and led me to a buzzfeed article about Maggie and her 5 minute watercolor portraits. By Sunday evening, we were chatting on the phone with Maggie with a plan in place and had her booked that same night! In the year or so leading up to the wedding, Maggie was always easy to reach (and super sweet at that) whenever I had any questions come up, and I was beyond excited to actually meet her and see her talent in person. She very kindly did portraits of my then fiancé and I in advance, as well as one of our two dogs at my request. They turned out so beautifully, and she brought them framed to have displayed at our wedding. But really - our guests have not stopped gushing about Maggie. I was so sad that I literally only got to spend about 30 seconds with her after all this time, but everyone was so excited and interested in having Maggie paint their portrait! Ultimately she was able to paint about 70 out of our 105 guests. She arrived and set up before our ceremony, so I know a few people who arrived early and got portraits then - including 2 of my junior bridesmaids who had snuck out while we were getting ready. According to everyone (and my firsthand experience), Maggie was nothing but lovely, fun, and professional. It has been so fun to see our guests' portraits as they share them with us or pop up on facebook. We even got the added bonus of being featured in her new video series, The Wedding Painter, and have a super special video souvenir of our wedding day that we would not have had without Maggie. Thank you so much Maggie for making our day so special! Your talent and skillset are truly unique, and I hope that one day we can actually spend more than 30 seconds together, because I just want to be friends with you! If you are considering hiring Maggie for your wedding or event - DO IT! Do it early! She's a true gem, and you will have a difficult time finding anyone else that holds a candle to her!

Hiring Maggie for our wedding was arguably one of the best decisions I ever made for our wedding…read more I know that flying someone from Atlanta to San Francisco seems a bit over the top, but Maggie was so worth it. Everyone at our wedding commented how amazing it was to have someone actually live paint their portraits! I wanted our guests to feel special as a thank you for being a part of our day and this one definitely delivered. I wanted something personal but classy and Maggie was the way to go. Maggie's art is not only beautiful and a great gift to treasure for a lifetime but something also has to be said for her speed! She cranked out those portraits as if she was in a race and she did not look one bit frazzled. Thank you so much for making our day extra special! Be sure to book her at your next event :)

She helped me define what I wanted and showed me mock ups of options so I could decide on what I ultimately wanted. I couldn't be more pleased with how it came out. It is so beautiful!!

I love to make fun, colorful art that makes me happy and brings the vision of others to fruition. My favorite kind of art to create comes from the minds of others, my commissions are always open and I am ready to take on any creative idea! While I specialize in painting, I enjoy the process of creative problem-solving when using new techniques; incorporating wire, beading, fabric, and found objects anywhere I have the opportunity. From ceramics to linoleum carvings to spray paint, my art explores many media. I would love to help in your next creative endeavor.

How does he do that? His studio environment is amazing - everyone that takes his classes has been doing so for years and is so supportive of each other. Shane creates a setting where creativity thrives. One of the most amazing things about him as a teacher is how supportive he is. He allows you to develop your own style rather than mimic his, and he is amazing at helping you push through that creative slump feeling. I can't recommend his classes enough, whether you've been painting for years or haven't even started yet!

DAVE IS THE MAN!…read more Since my daughter and her spouse were joining us at this year's Apple Festival, I thought that it would be a great opportunity for us to get a family caricature. I peeped the vendor list prior to my visit and decided that booth #35 would be our first stop of the day. We were the first to arrive and I quickly slid into a sit to mark my territory. Dave actually completed our last family caricature a decade ago so I knew that we were in good hands! Awesome! He is an Atlanta based artist who specializes in caricatures so he is very familiar to many. Yes, I was trying to control the process but Dave hi-jacked my plan and did his thang! It's Dave, so I wasn't worried and true to expectations, he did a great job! Our son was not present but Dave was able to add him in from a photo on one of our cell phones. It is perfect! Most caricatures are prepared in black but we decided to go for color which costs significantly more but worth it to us since we are collectors. Also since we have so many, we want them to be a bit different and the ones done in color really pop. You will actually want to splurge on this item because it not only documents a special family moment, but it is the ultimate souvenir that will last a lifetime. The process took about 45 minutes for four people (adding color takes additional time), so plan accordingly. Don't forget to bring cold hard cash!
