Hi Karlene, I just wanted to let you know how well received your work of art was. Many people had never seen anything like it. It was passed from table to table and the comments were amazing. The retiree was speechless... absolutely loved it... and has the perfect spot for it. Once again thank you so much... you will be hearing from me again regarding another pic. Regards, Nancy.

OMG!!!! I love it so much! It is absolutely perfect :) Thank you so much. Hopefully I will be sending more business your way as I'm sure everyone is going to be asking where we got it done and who the artist is. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Jennifer

Being a professional vocalist / guitarist, I needed an eye-catching promotional poster to put up in the local pubs in my area. I worked with Karlene to come up with a very unique poster which featured a caricature of myself performing live on stage. I get positive comments on it all the time and people always recognize me as the guy on the poster. Karlene was great to work with from start to finish on this, the price was very reasonable, and we did everything over the internet. I'm very pleased. Thanks, Karlene! Jason

Hi Karlene: Andrea brought your final drawing of Doug over to let me see it yesterday. I think it's perfect, and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank-you so much for the best present we could have ever thought of to give him. We are going to have it framed and have the matt signed by all the people coming to his party, It's going to hang in our front hall where people can't come into our home without seeing it, and if you knew Doug you would know it will be the start of many great stories. You have an awesome talent and again I thank you so much for sharing it with us, and of course putting up with all our little suggestions.

Stunning work!!! I ordered four individual pictures last Christmas for members of my family. Karlene managed to capture each of their personalities just from a photo & a couple of emails. A wonderful artist. Thanks again Regards, Belinda Ayr, Ontario

"Karlene's attention to detail & working closely with me to ensure she captured exactly what I wanted really impressed me. She completed two different projects for me and both turned out amazing. Additionally, she was quick to respond to any questions/concerns and followed up with updates & had the work completed when I needed it. Her keen interest in doing the very best job was evident by the finished product! I would definitely recommend her artistic services." Joan

My father absolutely loved his gift - you did a great job! :) I wanted to do something really special for my father - the man who has everything he needs and never asks for a thing! I was very excited when I stumbled upon Karlene and she was able to provide the perfect gift! The detail she used to capture my father and his Camaro was astonishing! In my dad's words - "it will be the centre of conversation for everyone who visits!" I've already recommended Karlene's work to family and friends and will definitely use her services again! Michelle East Noel, Nova Scotia

Awesome job on my caricature picture!! Could not think of anything to get my fiancé for Christmas and while he is the typical man he always has everything that he wants and always says he doesn't need anything when asked. But it was Christmas and I wanted to get him something special. Something that would mean something to him every time he saw it... So I found your ad and I have never been so happy in the final product that was sent to me.. My fiancé works away in Alberta as a pipe fitter and I never really knew what he did until one day he sent me a picture of himself working on a piece of pipe. And luckily he sent me the picture a month before Christmas and I just knew that that's what I would want for him. A picture to have of himself of what he does and what better fun to have it turned into a caricature. I absolutely loved the final product and so did he. Best present ever and even looked like him. So happy with the way it turned out and well worth it from the look on his face. I loved it and so did he!! Great work Karlene Ryan I'll be sure to keep you in mind for the next time I would want something like this done. You got it spot on and you rock girl!!! Natasha Portugal Cove St.Johns, Newfoundland

YES, it's perfect! I'm very pleased with the caricature. Thank you for being so approachable and easy to work with. I will definitely be in touch to have you do something for me again and I'd be happy to refer your work to others who are looking for a unique gift! Thanks again Karlene, it was a pleasure! Bonnie Tillsonburg, Ontario

“I was looking for a unique Christmas gift for my fiancée so I contacted Karlene and wow did she hit the nail on the head. The attention to detail was amazing and it is sure an attention grabber hanging in our living room. Lots of comments and everyone always asks where we got it done. Can’t wait to get a wedding picture done into a caricature. Would recommend Karlene for anyone looking for a unique piece of art” Andrew Winnipeg, MB

“Karlene, you captured my husband perfectly in the caricature you did for us! It was so heartwarming to see his response on Christmas morning when he opened this gift! You took a simple email with some details about my husband and turned it into a masterpiece that will make for many many wonderful conversations for years to come! In fact, it already has! You are an amazing artist!" Tracy Halifax, Nova Scotia

“Karlene’s work has become part of our family, we haven’t celebrated a single milestone without her wonderful drawings. Our wedding invitations, the announcement of our first child and upcoming milestone birthdays. We could not imagine not having a “Karlene” image attached to all our major events, they’ve become legendary with all our friends and family, and are considered collector items representing our family.” Janine Mississauga, Ontario ________________________________________________________________

For several years now, Karlene has been creating caricatures for us, in fact, we have one done for each of our retirees as a way to recognize them before they leave . Each time, with only a brief description and a picture, she is able to create a masterpiece that reflects the personality of the person that we are trying to recognize. It has now become expected and all our employees can’t wait to see what their caricature will look like when it will be their time to retire. Karlene is a professional , an artist who is very creative and talented. It has been a pleasure working with her and I look forward to working with her in the future. Michele Gatineau, Quebec ________________________________________________________________
