When I gave them to their parents for Christmas they were in tears, they were absolutely delighted with them; the children also love them. Kelly is an incredible artist, the gift she has for portraiture is exceptional. I had the portraits professionally framed and they now have pride of place in their lounge for everyone to enjoy."

The drawing caught their personalities perfectly & the precision with which she drew their features was simply amazing.

It will provide joy for years to come & I can't thank Kelly enough for such a beautiful drawing." March 2016
