Gifting a Personal Touch

Wendy Darby Mullins

Mom, Teacher, Friend

Monica is a true joy to work with! She has made several custom art pieces for me including a "house portrait" of my friends's new home, a drawing of a friend and her daughter, and several pictures in memory of lost fur babies.

Each piece she has created for me you can feel her kind heart in the final product and has become cherished by each recipient. Monica and her talent has been such a true blessing.

Capturing Personal Memories

One of my favorite pieces was a rendering of a special photo from Destin, Florida, which I gave to my dad as a Christmas gift to celebrate our cherished family trips there. She also created a stunning watercolor of my in-laws’ dream retirement home as a heartfelt 'Welcome Home' gift, which they absolutely loved.

Over the years, Monica has created three commissioned pieces for me, and every experience has been wonderful. She truly listens to my ideas and brings them to life beautifully. Monica made the process so easy each time, guiding me step-by-step to ensure everything was just right. I couldn’t be happier with the results of all three projects!

Software Professional

Working with Monica was an amazing experience. I work for a software firm, and after joining the company, several colleagues played a huge role in my growth. I wanted to show my appreciation by gifting them something personal and meaningful. Monica was the perfect artist for the job. She listened carefully to my ideas and added her creative touch, turning my vision into something truly special.

When I received the final pieces, I was thrilled. The artwork was not only beautiful but also deeply personal, and my colleagues were genuinely touched by the thoughtfulness behind it. Monica captured exactly what I hoped for and more, and I’m grateful for her talent and professionalism. I look forward to working with her again on future projects.

Enhancing Work Environment

Dyslexia Specialist, Owner of Moving Minds

More recently, when decorating my new office space, I knew I wanted Monica’s touch to complete it. I work with young kids and wanted something fun and personal, so I asked her to create a whimsical piece of my dog reading a book.

It’s now a perfect conversation starter that helps me connect with my clients and talk about our pets.

The perfect 50th Anniversary Gift

Alysha Klees

Patron and Acrylic Pour Artist

When I needed a special idea for my grandparents “who have everything” for their 50th wedding anniversary, I knew exactly who to turn to. Monica had shared many of her home portraits and I that is exactly what she created. A near replica of their family property. She is so personable, timely, and so very talented. As a fellow artist, I am so appreciative of Monica’s gift she offers so freely. If you’re looking for something amazing, creative, unique, and/or personalized, she is your person.
