Client Testimonials

"Thank you so much for the beautiful memory you froze in time for Meg. She was truly touched by the beauty of your art. We will all treasure it always."  Lynn Franklin

"I had seen some of Rita's watercolor portraits of children and knew that I wanted her to paint a picture of my daughter. I liked that Rita could keep the features of the children clear and true to life.  I decided to have her paint one of my daughter when she was 19 months old and have it ready to present to my husband for Father's Day.  Rita took some pictures of Sophie in my home - got some really nice shots.  She then used one for the portrait she painted.  I really love how it turned out.  I love the colors she chose - they brightened up the whole image and made it quite cheerful and lovely.  And although the shapes and colors of the background and Sophie's dress are somewhat "washed out", as watercolor is, the girl is clearly Sophie, which was very important to me.  I think our whole family will always treasure this painting." Alizah Sekman

"Goodmorning, I just wanted to thank you again for the charcoal portrait you gave me. I am amazed at how nice I look. My mom and dad said they were going to get it framed! Your thoughtfulness was so kind. I will cherish that picture of me for a lifetime and show my children someday what I looked like when I was 13.    Thank you for the opportunity to model for you and to see you at work. You are an awesome artist. You inspired me to continue to draw, even if it is only horses at this point in my life.    Have a nice day. Again, thank you again for your generous gift. Fondly, Megan Simons
