Testimonial I was extremely pleased with our finished portrait of Precious.  Sally was great to work with and interpreted our photo of Precious just as she is. Sally captured her personality and the features that make her so dear to us. Joanne Cotton Christmas 2008 commission.  Pastel 50 x 60cm

Testimonial "The portrait was a HUGE success. Everyone loved it and all thought it was Clemmie to a tee. My sister was just overcome when she was given the portrait as it was her dog almost alive again. She is hanging the portrait in pride of place next to the door which Clemmie always used.  I will be having Sally draw my own collies for my birthday next year." Robyn Chapman   Pastel 33x47cm

This portrait was a prize awarded at the Australian Dog Agilty Association Grand Prix 2008                                                             Testimonial "Sally has managed to capture my dogs' true character and personality and that extra special sheltie "aloofness" that the breed has ...the expression that is portrayed in his eye's is remarkable.  I will now have a true and lifelike reminder of my "friend and companion" for all eternity." Tandy Allen Queensland  Pastel 33x47cm

Testimonial My husband commissioned a pastel portrait of "Sassi" for our anniversary. I've never seen anything as perfect and that captures not only her looks but more importantly her personality. I will be forever grateful that she will live on forever.  Justine Ware  Pastel 50x60cm

Testimonial   I was so impressed by the pics you sent me on email, I never imagined it could get better!  The detail is quite amazing - the fur, eye, mouth and brindle markings are perfect.  Shai had a gentle nature and a beautiful soul and to see that come through in your work is more than I could have hoped for. Everytime I look at her portrait, I smile. And I know it will bring a smile to everyone who knew her for years to come. Your work is beautiful and it must be a great feeling to bring so much joy to animal lovers!  Robyn Horewood of Perth  Pastel 44.5 x 55.5 cm

Testimonial "I received the portrait of Ollie as a Christmas present. I can't believe the likeness, Sally has managed to capture Ollie perfectly, especially his eyes. The painting combines two of the things I love most, the Australian Bush, and my working Dog." Tom of Canberra   Oil on stretched canvas 75x50cm

Testimonial   I truly hope I was able to let you know when I rang you just how much your painting of Maddie meant to both Peter and I. Apart from capturing every minute detail of her (little wart above her left eye, worn down teeth from too much tennis ball, ears pricked back, digit missing on toe, fullness of her hair around the neck area, etc), you also were able to capture the very essence of her being through her eyes. She will now forever be with us thanks to your talent.  You could not have produced such a painting without feeling empathy with the subject. Thank you very much.
