"The picture is as lovely and captivating as it’s subject, which is the highest praise possible. It took my breath away when I saw it, and it still does. You have captured Caroline completely. Thanks for making a grandfather even happier."

"Andrea Hand’s portraits are a breathtaking tribute to childhood, and to the beauty and spirit of each child she portrays. By combining a larger-than-life format with the intricate softness of graphite, Andrea’s heirloom-quality portraits are richly poignant...delicately magical..and much in demand."

"We consider ourselves so fortunate to have met Andrea Hand. She is not only a wonderful and remarkable person to work with, but also an amazing and exceptionally gifted portrait artist! Andrea has captured the true essence, spirit and beauty of our two daughters in an unimaginable and precise manner. We are incredibly proud of our portraits and continue to receive compliments on them. We are thrilled that our long search for a unique portraiture artist is now complete."

"Andrea’s work, I Will Teach You All Things, is a gift to our community of faith that has visually captured the core of our work among the children and families of our church. Her rendering of our children in graphite is so lifelike that many who have seen it simply gaze in silence through tear-brightened eyes (the web picture does not do it justice!). Her artistic ability reaches deep into the soul of her subject and brings it right to the surface of the paper for all to see. When I look at those focused, sparkling faces, I see the very life of the children as God created them to be. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone who wishes to capture the spirit of his or her loved one in a portrait of the highest quality."
