I met Debi through a friend and ended up visiting her art studio in San Francisco. I was…read moreimmediately inspired by her pencil portrait work, so I decided to ask if I could commission a drawing made for my adorable grandparents. I had a nice photo that was taken of them many years ago, and Debi truly brought it to life. I couldn't believe how realistic the portraits were when she was done. It captured them so well, and was more life-like than the original photo. It's so nicely detailed, with a sparkle in their eyes - I absolutely love it. Every time I see this illustration hanging in their den it makes me happy I went to Debi's studio that day, because it inspired a unique gift that surprised my whole family for Christmas and immortalized the people I care about the most.

Zimou painted a 11x14 realistic oil portrait as a gift for my wife's birthday. Since it was a…read moresurprise, he had to work off of reference photos that I provided (not the most professional ones, he had to use his skill to fill in some of the missing details) but the end product was amazing. My wife loves the portrait, and it is hanging in our house now, and it will hopefully be there for decades to come, a reminder of a time when we were still newly married and had 2 young boys running around the house. In terms of skill, professionalism, and dedication, Zimou is hard to beat. When I have some more money saved up, I would like to have the kids painted next.

I have had the honor of not only attending the Academy of Art University with Zimou, but also…read morecommissioning him for a painting a number of years ago. My wife and I had the very good fortune of meeting with Zimou several times to discuss the portrait that we were hoping to have him create. Zimou was remarkably caring and quite detailed oriented with how he intended to paint our portrait. He even kept us informed of his development of the painting at every stage as he progressed with our painting. The end result is something we now treasure and consider a masterpiece. Zimou captured not only our likeness with his amazing talents, but he was also able to portray the love my wife and I have for one another. He is one of the most gifted painters we have known, and the art community has loved Zimou's style of traditional realism. The pride Zimou takes in his work is seen with every painting and sketch he completes. Since commissioning Zimou on our portrait, we have been able to acquire several more of his paintings. We are blessed to now call Zimou a dear friend.
