"Chris came to our silver wedding 50th birthday celebrations. We and our guests were extremely pleased with Chris's work. She did more than we expected and there was a queue for her work throughout the evening. We have received so many compliments from our guests after the event and we would recommend her."

Pete and Anna James Nov 2009


"Hope all is well, we would just like to express our thanks for all the excellent pictures you did at our wedding on the 28th March. It went down brilliantly and is a topic of conversation even now! And a brilliant memento of the day! Thank you. Also as a result of me talking about you ;-) I've got some customers of ours that are eager to book you for their wedding next year (14th Feb 2010) I understand and have explained that, with the date it may be too short notice for you but if you are available please could you let me know. The wedding is at Rowley Castle, which I believe is in Shrewsbury. Once more thank you for an excellent night and look forward to hearing from you soon."

"On behalf of all at Tokheim UK Limited, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris for her help at the largest UK exhibition within our industry. Chris's wit, friendliness and supreme craft in constructing humorous and flattering caricatures went a long way in drawing valued clients and friends onto our exhibition stand. I highly recommend Chris for any event!"

"Chris came to our Learning Disability Partnership Board Open Day in February 2009, as one of a series of ideas to get people thinking about who they are and what they want to do. She was brilliant with our service users, and also the carers and staff that were present. I felt that she made a great contribution to the day, and would reccomend her to anyone considering something like this for an event. Chris not only makes you feel immediately comfortable but the quality of the work is also superb. Great work thanks Chris!!"

Sam Davies - Partnership Board Support Officer Walsall Learning Disability Team - February 2009


" Just wanted to say a big thankyou for coming to the party on sat 17th Feb. You were amazing, a real big hit. I know there were lots of people who still wanted to have their picture done. Thanks for staying so late I really appreciate it. I love the picture you did of me. "

Neena - February 2007


"When at Exhibitions it is always difficult to stand out from the crowd, By using the excellent Skills of Chris, We were really able to stand out and be noticed, thanks to Chris's hard work we were the talk of the exhibition and it directly led to more interest from the delegates than our larger competitors. Chris's services are a must for any company attending an exhibition. We've already booked her for 2009"

Greg Wood Director of Sales, The Logistics Network. February 2008

"I attended a wedding on 6th December 2008, of my Cousin, where Chris was doing her drawings of the guests during the evening. Her expertise and accuracy doing the drawings was incredible. Not one person could say anything other than praise. Everyone I spoke to were over the moon with what you achieved Chris. Ours is now in a frame and hanging on our living room wall Thank You, Well Done and Best Wishes for the future."

Gerald Wallbank - 2008


" Thank you so much for all your hard work with keeping our guests happy on our wedding day.

Karen - May 2008


"Thank you Chris - for your patience and diligence in producing all those caricatures for our recent corporate conference - especially given the time-frame; the extremely limited photographic references you had to work from and the changing brief - it was a great result, thank you."

Andrew Patterson - Superb Live Events - March 2008


"Hi Chris. Just wanted to say thank you for yesterday - you went down a storm."

Donna and Rob (Rowton Castle, Shrewsbury) - June 2008


"Chris understood from the out-set EXACTLY what I was looking for as a surprise for my Fiance's 40th Birthday. She made a montage of 4 pictures incorporating myself, our dog and his friends / hobbies and interests. She only had photos to work with, and the results were fantastic and extremely accurate! I would recommend Chris to anyone, I am absoulutely chuffed with what she has done..... And a very lovely lady too, who made it all so easy and effortless! Thanks Chris"
