I wanted to paint my dog on a cardholder as a gift to my boyfriend. Erica was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we love the result!! Even though Erica did not have any prior experience painting in leather, she did her research, got the necessary supplies and did a few sample paintings for me (one was done on leather) to make sure the painting will look good and will stay on the leather. We communicated frequently and she was always willing to make changes when I proposed them. Erica is super professional and her drawings are just beautiful and awesome!!
