Letters to the Artist

 "We are so thankful that your amazing talent was brought to our attention while at the Defenders of Wildlife conference in Monterey last year.

As you know, our wonderful Storm was, and continues to be, the love of our lives.  We could find no closure with his death and have suffered so much.  When we opened the envelope with your drawing of Storm, we were so moved.  The drawing was so wonderful and life-like we both said we could almost feel him breathing.  Each day we walk by your drawing of Storm and it is a constant reminder of what a wonderful boy he was and it brings a smile to our face."

"Esther, when I sent you Scout's photo, he was just beginning his fight against cancer, and we didn't know what his future held.  You delivered a drawing that captured him perfectly.  There is no mistaking who your subject was.  Sadly, Scout's battle was all too short.  Your sketch, however, has given my family something that will keep his memory fresh in our minds forever.  Your work is fantastic.  Thank you."

"Hello Esther,  I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful portrait you drew of my greyhound, Sophie.
It is absolutely breath taking.  It is like looking straight into the eyes of my dog.  Every detail is there, and it is so life like.  A camera couldn't have captured the personality and detail that is in the portrait you drew.  My husband and I are very pleased with the portrait and we will enjoy it for many years to come.  I would highly recommend you to anyone thinking of having a portrait drawn of their pet.  With you, you don't just get a picture of your pet, you get so much more."

"A group of my friends commissioned Esther to produce a Graphite pencil Portrait of Unica, my greyhound, as a surprise for my 60th Birthday/Retirement.  Many people coming into my home notice this portrait and say, "That's a lovely picture of a greyhound".  To me, it is much more than that- it is a beautiful and so lifelike representation of the love of my life.  It totally reflects her personality.  I consider myself very lucky".
