"Our portrait is so beautiful - I don't know how you capture all the emotion, but your work is spectacular." -- The Calderones, Glen Ridge NJ "The portraits of the children are unbelievable. You captured the essence of each individual child. Thank you for giving us such a special way to remember their youth!" -- The Cliftons, Durham NC "The portrait you created of our dog Stella was outstanding! We were amazed at how well you captured her inquisitive personality. Thanks for all of your guidance choosing the right matting and fame. Our portrait is a beautiful heirloom we will pass on to our children." -- The Samuels, Chapel Hill NC "I commissioned Carin to do a portrait of our boys as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. I wanted an informal, “affectionate” portrait of the two of them together – no easy task! Carin’s patience, warmth and desire to know her subjects makes everyone comfortable and completes the package. I cried when I saw the finished work." -- Beth Wickham, Durham NC "I have admired Carin's artwork for years. When I finally commissioned a portrait of my two daughters, I was not surprised by how well she captured the absolute likeness of their every feature. I gave the portrait to my husband for Father's Day and he still says it was the best present he ever received." -- Kelly Monroe-Porco, Chapel Hill NC |
