"Ariel was really great to work with. I had some definite ideas of what I wanted for the book cover for "Damselle in Distress" and gave them to her and she did a great job working them into the art, as well as creating some really clever ideas of her own. She poured a lot of time and effort into it, and I really appreciated the fact that she wanted to make it the best it could be."

"The client is impressed, I'm happy with the product. Everyone is super impressed with both her work ethic and quality.

They can't stop talking about it."

"Thanks a million yet again. I'm really very very very happy with it. It's all I could ever hope for, you really managed to paint what I had in my head."

 

~ Sophie

"What a joy to work with! Ariel is intuitive, collaborative, and has outstanding instincts. I know it's a cliche' but her figures really do "come alive," each an individual with a personality all their own. The very competitive price was simply the "icing on the cake!" I look forward to working with her again... and again... and again!"

 

~ J. H. Moore, Author of the “Elfwatcher Chronicles”
