Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 17, 2023•From Chicago, IL

Ellen was a great addition to our birthday party. She arrived early, stayed late and was very accommodating. All my guests commented on how nice she was and everyone loved their portraits. I highly recommend Ellen for your next event!

If I could give Ellen more than 5 stars I would. She finished the piece I asked for quickly and was responsive to all correspondence we had during the transaction. I would love to have her for a live event!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! The hit of our event. Ellen did both digital and regular print. Her talent is amazing - I highly recommend upgrading to the digital! Would love to hire her again in the future.

Thanks for the stellar reviews. Ellen

Ellen did an excellent job. Her drawings were spot on! She was very personable and talked with each of us while getting our drawing done. She had all of her own equipment and got there early to set up. I would definitely recommend her to others!

We couldn't thank Ellen enough for her amazing talents, professionalism and very flexible schedule. Without hesitation Ellen volunteered to stay later because she saw a line starting to form and she wanted to make sure that all of our guest were able to get an opportunity. I would give her more stars if I could!

Thank you for your stellar review. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you. Ellen

Ellen was very professional and cooperative with our requests. She as a great personality that allows her to be responsive and beneficial in addition to her artistic qualities. If another event comes up, we will most definately ask Ellen to provide her professional artistic services.

MY PARTNER AND I ARE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND HAD A POOL PARTY FOR FRIENDS AND C0-WORKERS. ELLEN WAS A HUGE SUCCESS, EVERYONE LOVED HER!!!!!!!!!!! ELLEN WAS VERY NICE AND PERSONABLE, SHE CHATTED WITH ALL OF OUR GUESTS. ALL OF OUR GUESTS COMMENTED ON HOW MUCH THEY LIKED HER AND HER WORK. EVERYONE ASKED HOW WE "FOUND" ELLEN. MY PARTNER AND I WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND ELLEN. TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK THROUGH HER SITE AND READ UP ABOUT HER. SHE WAS GREAT, IF WE EVER DECIDE TO HAVE CARICATURE DRAWINGS AT A FUNCTION AGAIN WE WILL DEFINITELY BE RE-HIRING ELLEN.

Bat Mitzvah•Reviewed on November 23, 2009•From Lincolnshire, IL

We were so glad to have booked Ellen for our event. She not only accepted our last minute, but stayed beyond her scheduled time to complete a few more caricatures of our guests. Everyone was talking about their caricatures well after the party ended. Thanks again Ellen for adding a little festivities to our luncheon. The Magids

We hired Ellen for our daughter's bat mitzvah, and she and her colleague Ms. Haden were terrific. They kep a crowd of 12-13 year olds enthralled. Brava!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on July 7, 2011•From Des Plaines, IL

The experience was more than great, everyone loved the paintings. The next day at a 4th of July cook out everyone was asking me about contacting Ellen. She had a lot of patience with the small children and was able to stay even longer to finish the rest. It was amazing how fast she can paint too. I absolutely loved this idea and the children did too. Thanks so much Ellen, Mariela Aparicio

Ellen did a great job!! - She was reliable, talented, and easy to communicate with both via email and in person. We were extremely pleased with the final product and that was why we selected her over the others to begin with, so I would definitely recommend Ellen to others!!
