"We are delighted by the pieces we commissioned from Thérèse Franks and were very impressed with the thoughtful and professional approach to the process. After a series of questions to help us identify our preferences for themes, features, and styles, Thérèse provided initial sketches and updates for our feedback and approval. The finished products bring us so much joy. We love her use of intense, textured greens and golds to convey the dappled sunshine of the forest in "Sighting," and the gentle brushstrokes of the fawn caught in the moment of being seen and seeing. In Goldfinches #1 and #2, Thérèse exactly captured the delicate, fluttering energy that we treasure in our sightings of those lovely birds."
