"Khanh drew an excellent piece, as expected, and I was very happy with the result. More importantly, after my mother received it as a gift she was brought to tears by joy and excitement. Easily, Khanh's drawing was the best present I gave this year. Finally, the whole process of working with Khanh was easy and simple, and she showed both enthusiasm and professionalism throughout." - Mike Z., Kitchener, ON

"It was a pleasure working with Khanh, her attention to detail and commitment to capturing the essence of the subjects shines through her work. Khanh’s drawings both showcase her immense talent and celebrate the priceless moment captured in our photo."

"Khanh made a beautiful wedding gift for my husband, and did an incredible job at capturing one of the most special and important moments in our lives. My husband was overwhelmed when he opened the drawing, and it is not only a gift but an heirloom. Many of our wedding guests thought that the drawing was a black and white photo at first glance, and our family commented that it will be fought over by future generations. I would return to Khanh in a heartbeat to capture special moments in the future."

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the overwhelming support I've received these past few weeks. Thank you thank you thank you.

If I'm not lucky enough already, I also happen to be embarking on a big family trip to Vietnam in late July. This means that any commissioned art work that you'd like to have for the summer should be sent in soon to guarantee that it is going to be finished in time.

Business will resume in the fall and winter for all your anniversary, birthday, Christmas and holiday needs.

Thank ya!
