Turnaround is generally 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on my workload. If you want a painting in time for a certain event, e.g. Christmas, birthdays, etc., please let me know in your initial contact so I can consider my workload and advise on feasibility.

Thank you for your interest!

Comments from my collectors:

Kari, you are absolutely delightful!!! Tweetie is Beautiful! The likeness you've done melts my heart. Oh man! I've never seen one of my babies 'done' and this just blows me away! I can't tell you how wonderful she looks, you got her haughty expression just right! And her coloring is perfect, I especially love the tawny bits around her nose, I love it!!! Oh, this is just too wonderful... This is THE best present I've ever got and I'm giving it to myself! Thank you so much for this treasure, Kari. Happy Evening to you, Susie

Kari, I received your artwork yesterday, I love it! This cat looks just like my Princess. Thank you and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Renee'

Kari, all I can say is WOW! Just WOW!!! Totally amazing...! Seeing your portrait of Clara made me realize that I just haven't appreciated what beautiful cats I have the pleasure of living with =^..^= Your doing some of my babies is such a great honor and I feel very....what's the word I want....'special' somehow to be able to see how you capture them. I wish I could express my appreciation for seeing what you can do...man, I'd give all my teeth to be able to do that! She's amazingly lovely. Thank you again, Kari, I'm blown away! Susie

Dear Kari, It brought tears to my eyes when I saw the beautiful portrait of Nikita. Thank you so much. It will look great in my new home. Nicholas

Kari, My husband is just totally in awe of your talent. We both would like to tell you how handsome you've made Caleb, I can't believe that that's my dog! Seeing how you've brought out his personality makes me appreciate him more, somehow. I hope you don't get tired of hearing what a great artist you are, because you're going to hear it all the time! Thank you so much for everything, Susie
