"The portrait was amazing!!!  Rich's family was overjoyed as were the rest of us who came to know him.  The quality of the work you did was second to none.  Thank you for taking the time and putting forth the obvious effort to complete the day for us and provide us with something very special."
Sincerely, Jamie Hart

"Not a day goes by that I do not look at, and enjoy this portrait. This was a once in a life time expense that I would endure, and have found it to be worth every penny spent. There is not a single picture hanging in my house that I enjoy as much as I do this one. Again, after a year of enjoyment, I want to thank you for a wonderful family keep sake."
Sincerely,
Denise C. Canter

"We can not tell you how much we LOVE the portraits of Madison!  As you said, they are more beautiful in person.  Thank you for helping us to make this a most special Christmas gift and hopefully, we will have several more in the near future to order. You are the BEST deal around...that's for sure and you make it so easy. Thanks again, Jerry.  Merry Christmas to you and yours."
Judy Martelli

"I do not have enough adjectives in my vocabulary to tell you how wonderful, fabulous, perfect the portrait of our kids is.  I do not recall ever being so moved and crying so much for joy. Thank you for helping make this a fabulous fifty for me."
Sincerely, Amy Makson

I am self-taught in many mediums and my award winning bas-relief, pen and ink, and pastel portraits are in private and public collections nationwide. The photograph has changed the way most portraits are painted, but I still enjoy painting from a combination of private sittings and photos, and have been doing so since 1985. My love of art centers on classic portraiture, which may or may not be of a person, in fact, one my most memorable portraits was of a small monkey who was the life-long companion to a lady who had no family. Family, pets, automobiles, idyllic getaways, or just about anything that brings joy to your heart and warm feelings about experiences remembered are wonderful subjects for portraits.
