"Thank you so much for painting Debakey. I never realized it would be possible to capture someone's soul in a picture - but you really did it. All of Apex Veterinary Hospital, myself, my family and friends have cried, laughed and just enjoyed the portrait so much - I can't thank you enough. I'll cherish it always - "

"Kim is a soul artist:  she has the gift of seeing the soul of the subject she is painting.  Her portraits of my children are breathtaking in their authenticity.  Kim has more than just the ability to create an incredible likeness - she captures her subject's personality, essence, spirit.  When I look at my children's portraits, I see the love I have for them reflected back to me in Kim's brushstrokes."

"Kim's work is fresh and direct.  She recently did portraits of our dogs and the photographic quality her work expresses is stunning.  Her use of complex color with alternating soft expressive and energetic strokes captured the spirit and personality of the dogs perfectly.  She has a rare gift, which enables her to make an emotional connection with the subject that gives her portraiture an intuitive intimacy."

"Kim is an amazing artist, no other way to describe her. ... Peggy and I are extremely pleased to display some of her work in our home.  Some years ago Kim did a pastel of Bogie, our umbrella cockatoo. It was her first attempt doing a bird and she truly captured the very heart and soul of our loving companion. His portrait is among those you can view on Kim's web site. As you can see, she is a master at painting animals. She does other subjects, as you'll see, but ... I can attest to the fact that you will find nothing more pleasing than to have a portrait of your animal companion done by her to hang in your home.  I have yet to find another artist who can do better.  Do yourself a favor...take time to visit her web site.  I bet you'll bookmark it immediately."

"I saw one of Kim's beautiful portraits four years ago.  I knew immediately that when we had grandchildren I would contact her.  From the moment I met Kim I knew she had something very special.  She has such passion and enthusiasm for her talent.  When she unveiled the masterpieces, I was speechless.  The portraits were as beautiful as I could ever have imagined--she captured our "little angels" just as we see them.  She has created a priceless treasure for our children!  I look forward to  working with Kim again and again!                                                Monica Fering, Cary,NC                                                                                                                                                                                        

"Kim has captured the essence of our children in their portraits.  The portraits are simply lifelike and their personalities shine in the likeness she created.  The attention to detail is remarkable.  We treasure them."

"Kim's artistic talent is truly amazing!  She has a wonderful gift and a great eye for color in creating beautiful real life portraits.  She painted a beautiful beach portrait of our two children.  It hangs above our fireplace adding vibrant color and dimension to the room as well as expressing the life of our children.  It feels like you are right there watching them play on the beach.  On top of her artistic talent she is a joy to work with!"
