Dear Bob & Sue,
"I emailed you regarding a caricature for a 40th birthday party and you
referred me to Wendy Fedan. I just wanted to let you know what an
incredibly talented artist she is and how much we loved her work. Her
work was especially touching because she drew my brother (who is ill)
and his handicapped son. Wendy captured their spirit...from the smiles
in their eyes to the joy on their faces. Many people at the party were
amazed at the resemblance and how the caricature seemed to come alive.
Thanks again for the referral. She did an amazing job and we couldn't
be more thrilled! "
Sincerely,
Kathy Matish
