Testimonials
"There is no right word to describe how thrilled I am with the final drawing... ecstatic is probably the closest! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! When I finally saw it very late last night - my eyes immediately filled with tears of pure joy. You have created such an incredible memory for my milestone that will last me forever!” Anita S""There was a baby there who was just discharged from the NICU and still had the GT or feeding tube in. Polina drew the mom and baby together but didn’t draw the tube. The mother was so overcome with emotion and said that this was the first picture that showed he would not be defined by his prematurity. It moved me to tears.” Client"
