Customer Reviews
I recently had two beautiful portraits created of my son and daughter. I’m in love with the end result - they are stunning! Col is extremely talented. The portraits captured both of their individual personalities and look identical to the original photos. I received great communication from Col throughout the process and the end product was exactly what I wanted. I can’t wait to hang the portraits up in our new house! Thank you Col, I will be in touch when baby number three arrives for another beautiful portrait. Pippa 🥰🥰
We are absolutely in love with our portrait of Grayson. Once again you have captured his beautiful little soul, right down to that gorgeous smile of his. He is truly a handsome little man who reminds me so very much of his father when he was at this same age.
We are extremely thankful to have had you create all the portraits of our most cherished grandbabies. It warms my heart that each and everyday day we get to walk past their portraits, see their smiling faces and their unique personalities popping through all together on our wall, no matter how spread apart they are.
It is evident that this isn’t just a job for Col, but a labor of love!!!
I was blown away by the final portrait that Col created of my son. It’s more than just a drawing to me, it’s a still moment in time, captured with such tenderness and care.
From the very beginning, communication was warm, clear, and thoughtful. Every step felt intentional, and the final piece was delivered with such care.
Thank you for creating something I will treasure forever. Highly recommended to anyone seeking art that speaks to the heart.
I found Col through the loss mum community and scrolling through her work, I knew straight away I wanted to do it for my angel girl Méabh.
Her schedule was full and I put myself on a waitlist (I heard it could take a year!). Two months after, I reached out to her in the hopes that she might be able to fit me and to my surprise, she was able to! It was worth every penny, it was also worth the wait. It also happened to be delivered to me a day before my birthday - the best birthday gift!
Col is extremely talented, the portrait of my little girl is beyond immaculate - you can see how much time, effort and love was put into. We will forever treasure this beautiful portrait.
Thank you so much, Col. You have brought our little angel to life and we will always look at her portrait fondly, lovingly, admiring both her peaceful little face and this work of yours.
Thank you Col for the portraits of both my babies over the past years. You capture every little bit of their cheekiness and joy. The detail and finishes are just so special and we will definitely be getting one more portrait done for baby #3 on the way :).
My parents commissioned and gifted to us this beautiful portrait of our daughter, Addison, for her 1st birthday. Whilst I am a longtime lover and follower of Colleen’s work, this gift is even more special as Col (Miss Anderson to me) was my Grade 1 teacher back in 1999! And my favourite teacher at that. Watching her create her business and follow her passion for art is amazing and now I get to love and cherish such a special piece from her. Thank you for your beautiful work Miss Anderson. You have captured our beautiful Addi perfectly. Lots of love xxx
We just opened our Vera's portrait. OMG!!!! Rex and I were both in tears, at your beautiful art and your equally beautiful words. You got us good!!! Thank you never seems to be enough, but truly THANK YOU for her. You were right, the portrait is even more beautiful in person. Just perfect! You gave us one of our most special keepsakes then And you continue to do so 10 years on and 4 other kids later. I just don't feel my words do justice to how special your art has been and is to us!! Thank you so much Col X
This arrived the day before his first birthday. Words cannot express how much this means to us. You are an earth angel x
If I had to leave my house with only the material things I could carry, the 2 portraits of my twin girls would be top of the list. Don't settle for less. Col's a true artist.
After loosing our son in 2022, a friend reached out and recommended having a portrait done by Col.
Col is amazing at what she creates and takes the time to collaborate with you on how you would like your perfect portrait created
We have the most beautiful portrait of our son Ashtyn, it's hanging on the wall as soon as we get home as a reminder he is still a part of our family and we often get family photos Infront of the portrait which is really special 💙
