Reviews: "Andrea, Thank you so much for once again helping me to create amazing memories for our families at the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation's annual Christmas Party 2018. You and your second artist were delightful, and everyone just loved the custom paper that you provided for us. I have always enjoyed teaming up with you over the past 20+ years (has it really been that long?) and I look forward to the next time we get to work together. As always, you are the best.

People are raving about their caricatures, even months later! I plan on booking her for many events." Paula Sassi Handwriting Analysis 2/17/18 San Diego, Ca
