With such stunning detail, it was like looking at my Sancho again! I seriously became overwhelmed with emotion. My heartache became joy, looking at the finished work of art. Photos do not give it justice, the rich texture and shine emitted, especially from the eyes. Incredibly captured by Mael!! ~ R.R. Bolingbrook, IL ~ Sancho

"I am amazed by the artwork. I truly love this painting. Mael is extremely professional and attentive to all the details that I wanted in the piece.

"I saw Mael and her art work at a craft show and knew I wanted a painting for my best friend of her cat and dog. I emailed the photo and was so happy when Mael said it was 'Petina Painting ready'. The painting is incredible! I'm thrilled to be giving it as a gift. It will certainly be cherished. Thanks so much for suggesting the silver background; you're right that it makes the painting pop and really draws your focus to Cinnie and Kismet. Love the kitty whiskers! What an amazing work of art!" ~P.D. - Bolingbrook, IL

Mael takes a beloved photo as a reference, but you don't just receive a painted copy of a picture, it is a piece of art with gorgeous texture, color, and energy. What I marvel at is the sense of life she captured in her eyes...it's like I'm looking directly at my loyal friend."

"I met sweet Mael at a local craft expo where she had her work beautifully displayed. I immediately fell in love with the animal paintings and had to have one! They were so unique! I can't believe how she captured my dog from a picture on my phone...wow! I just received it last week and already I've had compliments! It's a perfect addition to my home! Mael is so easy to work with and texted me updates and shipping information. Awesome! Please consider ordering a painting for your home. You will not be disappointed!"
