Claire did a fabulous job on my series The Adventures of Bruin. She knew exactly what was needed to illustrate the stories of a police dog which was too friendly for the force and instead became the hero of five stories when becoming a family pet. Nothing was too much trouble for Claire and she was full of enthusiasm for the stories and enriched them with her wonderful illustrations. Highly recommended.

Collaborating with Claire has been a wonderful experience. Her thoughtful assistance and support have ensured that my ideas came to life in print. In addition to drawing beautiful illustrations, she has provided a wealth of industry knowledge and encouragement throughout the process. Claire has been an absolute delight to work with and I will gladly recommend her to anyone seeking help in producing a children's book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Wonderful Experience with Claire I recently had a sketch of Puso my dog done by Claire as an anniversary present for my wife, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From start to finish, her service was outstanding — warm, professional, and attentive to every detail. She really took the time to understand what I wanted, which made the process feel personal and special. The artwork of Puso itself is fantastic. Claire’s talent is clear in every stroke — the sketch captures emotion beautifully and exceeded all my expectations. The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined, and I know my wife will absolutely love it. I highly recommend Claire to anyone looking for meaningful, high-quality artwork. Her creativity, skill, and excellent service made this a perfect gift. Thank you, Claire, for helping make our anniversary truly memorable! ⸻

The picture of our little rescue dog Bea done by Claire is absolutely gorgeous. She has really captured her personality, and the details, like her little teeth, make the picture just so amazing. It is in pride of place in our home and will remain so forever. Thank you so much, Claire, for capturing our little dog in the best way. The best gift we could receive.

Claire is such a wonderfully creative and kind person to work with. She gives her time, effort and worldly advise to make the whole process from conception to completion (and beyond) so effortless and easy to understand. I highly recommend her artistic skills and enjoy working with her.
