TESTIMONIALS
Works For Business - When Numbers Stack Up
"Having known Sharron for some time, I had reason to expect when engaging Sharron to produce Artwork for our office, that the result would be of the highest quality. What particularly impressed me was the “Process” employed by Sharron in achieving the result.
I remain intrigued that I continue to think about “what the painting means”. (May I add that I’ve never before in my life thought about the meaning of a painting). As to the process in short time (about 10-15 minutes), Sharron had selected the colours to be used, but more remarkably had the final concept of the work in mind in just 15 minutes!
Given Sharron and my brief discussion of “what we do here”, it continues to intrigue me as to how Sharron did that in such short time. In discussing the painting, Sharron offered the interpretation that; “Our Services empowered Clients to achieve the Work/Life balance reflected in the work!” Indeed such is our purpose as Accountants and I appreciate Sharron’s documenting of our purpose in this way. I like the work. My wife likes the work. The use of our Corporate colours suits the environment.
And, now that I have the advantage of understanding the motivation for the work; the work will truly be useful so that I might from time to time focus client’s attention on the work to graphically present “work/life balance proportions” to which we might all aspire.
Business Result Accountants Pty Ltd effectively and professionally support Small and Medium Business owners, so that their quality of life is (potentially) improved. I have no hesitation in commending Sharron on the work and recommending Sharron to others who might be considering undergoing the same process."
Glenn Nelson & the Business Result Accountants Pty Ltd Team

Works With Little Pros - Charlies Famous fashions
"Charlotte loves her painting and all her friends wish they could do one too. Most people can not believe that she did it her self and love the fact that it is her own fashion design. Anyone who knows Charlotte knows how much she loves clothes and designing new clothes. We all really love it."

Work and Play Picasso - My Rembrandt
"Dear Sharron, Dad was just delighted with his experience. Julie & I both hope that he will take up your good advice and start to do some dabbling. His past life experience would indicate not BUT you never know he seemed so motivated.
Don't misunderstand what I just said as criticism. He is such a dear and good father and is so so so patient with Mum's condition. The later and his ageing I suspect take a lot out of him. Know that your time and effort with him was really appreciated by all of us."

Works For LIfe - I Dream A Mermaid
"Dear Sharron, You should have seen her face when she saw it....totally speechless for a few minutes then said "oh my gosh mummy it is just so beautiful", she was just dumbfounded and lay on the floor in the hallway for at least 15 mins just looking at it. Then I would hear this "mummy mummy" thinking something was wrong I would come running only to be told "mummy look at her sparkly nails". Sharron, just priceless and oh so cute!"

Fantasy Face Works - Poppies Dance Spectacular
"Dear Sharron, Poppy thoroughly enjoyed her creative experience with you.
We were concerned Poppy’s concentration span would not have allowed her to contribute much towards the painting but were pleasantly surprised that she lasted all day and had a great time as well.
Poppy loves her painting and is very proud of her contribution.... Thanks for making it special for Poppy and giving her the opportunity to take some ownership of the painting...."
Julie & David Fitzpatrick, Hamilton

I felt I was lucky because it is mine..
It was hard work but I actually enjoyed it..
I learnt from Sharron that I do not have to stay in the lines...
I liked painting with Sharron because I learnt a lot and I had fun...
I love my painting more than anything........except Stinky... (her Stuffed Rabbit)
It’s the most beautiful painting I have ever done....."

Works Just For You - Colour Burst
"Dear Sharron, I just can’t believe what a difference this artwork has made!! We have had a plain white wall in our home just screaming out for something like this. You have managed to capture exactly what we were after, when it has taken me two years of looking around unsuccessfully to find something.
Thank you so much. We often just sit in this room, drinking coffee and literally just stare at the wall. We love it."

Works For Designers - Young Lounge
"I commissioned Sharron to produce artworks for one of my clients who has an apartment on the river. We wanted a very specific look requiring pieces to compliment the custom made soft furnishings, furniture and accessories.
Her attention to detail, flexibility and ability to interpret was fabulous and created a very enjoyable and rewarding experience.
The outcome couldn’t have been better! The artworks Sharron produced were not only beautiful, but also fit into their environment beautifully, enhancing the design I had installed and my client couldn’t have been happier."

Works For Designers - Walk In The Park
"Working with Sharron, was an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Her attention to detail was evident from the start.
She had been given an initial outline by our interior decorator, though subsequent to her site visit, we commissioned eight extra pieces! Sharron kept us constantly informed, she arranged a visit to her studio to ensure collective harmony, was vigilant about time frames and very conscious of my budget. The final outcome was well beyond my expectations.
Every piece worked beautifully with each environment from bedrooms to lounge room to hall (see above testimonial) and each had to please a different age group from my 9 and 19 year old daughters to my 20 year old son. After having spent a considerable amount of money on furnishings, Sharron’s artwork was the key that brought everything together."

Public Works - Westfield Faces Of North Lakes
“Dear Sharron, Westfield Shopping Centre Management at North Lakes would like to officially thank you for your works in relation to the “Faces of North Lakes”.
Your professionalism throughout the production and passion to complete the task within a tight deadline was greatly appreciated. The finished product met all expectations and the opening dignitaries had nothing but positive comments of the uniqueness of the project and added value to the new stage 2 development.
The result of this initiative has provided Westfield North Lakes with a special “point of difference” and community talking point. The wall continues to provide a meeting point where parents can view the gallery and offers a conversational point as the kids involved in the portraits, grow up with the centre. We look forward to working with you again at Westfield North Lakes.
Yours truly, Mandy Poynton”

Works With Little Pros - Tigers In The Grass
“My little girl is at that stage where she just loves colouring in and painting and when I heard about Little Pro Masterpieces I just knew it would be something she would enjoy doing, plus I would also have a wonderful piece of art work done by my daughter to pass through the generations - how special is that!
Little did I realize how much she would enjoy the experience! Sharron was sensational with her and to hear and watch the interactions during painting was something truly special, a memory I will cherish forever.”

Works For Designers - Ros Hines Designs
"After unsuccessfully searching for artwork to complement the colours of the surrounding decor, I commissioned Sharron to custom design a canvas. Sharron was given a cushion cover, tuff's of wool from a rug and paint swatches of an adjoining feature wall colour.
After viewing the first draft, Sharron was asked to soften the artwork, and introduce more colour and texture. Sharron was very accommodating in making these changes, which barely breeched my budget.
I will not hesitate when recommending Sharron to my clients, to achieve the desired effect in finishing a room - "the icing on the cake".

Work And Play Picasso - Japanese Dreaming
“Dear Sharron, I would love to tell you how much I enjoyed doing our combined artwork!
I wanted to learn a new way of using my beautiful fabrics and we certainly achieved this. As a patch worker I was looking for something new and found this a fantastic experience. It’s easy, great fun and also a learning experience the result of which is hanging, proudly in our lounge room and all our visitors admire my artwork! In a new light, I love that it’s a reminder to me that it is fun to explore new artistic techniques.
My Japanese Dreaming really lifts my lounge room as the colours blend beautifully.
Thank you Sharron, I look forward to my next session in 2008.”

Works With LIttle Pros - Daisies Fairy Garden
“Dear Sharron, To quote one of my fathers famous lines, ‘bloody marvelous’…..The painting looks fantastic, way better than Daisy’s, Julie’s and my expectations…Daisy was so proud when showing me her painting tonight.
Julie and I believe this experience will give Daisy some serious confidence with her passion for art, and be a source of great joy for many years to come.
I have to say leading up to her birthday I became concerned that I had organized a gift for Daisy that was way past her age however, when Julie and I told her and saw how excited she was to do a big persons painting, I felt a little more confident. Every day she spoke about it….and after seeing her today and especially this evening (and the painting of course) I am so pleased for Daisy as she has no doubt enjoyed this experience immensely. Thank you very much!”

Works With Little Pros - Jungle Jamboree
“We are all so thrilled with what Sharron was able to help Cameron to create. He is so proud of himself and had such a great time too. He takes great pleasure in showing everyone his handprint in the corner as if that proves he did the painting. The room is starting to look even more fantastic as we add all Sharron’s other suggestions. It is something that we will cherish forever and an experience that I strongly recommend.”

Work And Play Picasso - Kenyan Nights
“I saw an ad where Sharron was helping children to do paintings on canvas. I thought what a good idea as I was looking for a fantastic Christmas present for my husband. After seeing the way Sharron interacted with my 3 year old son, the end result and the fact that my son had enjoyed it so much, I thought for my birthday I would like to do something unique for myself. So I did a Work and Play Picasso!
I spent a whole fantastic day with Sharron painting our hearts out and wow! We had so much fun and the painting is fabulous…I can’t wait to see every ones reaction! Every time I walk in my room I look at what I did. Wow! Even I could do a masterpiece (with Sharron’s help of course) and it’s amazing how the painting has brought the room to life as all the colours match everything in the room. It’s simply breathtaking. Kenyan Nights has brought a whole new style to a very plain room. I am so pleased and impressed with Sharron’s ability to guide and with her patience…what a remarkable woman. I would recommend to anyone to do a Work and Play Picasso. Thanks so much Sharron!”

Works For Designers - Moroccan Mothers Room
From the client to the interior designer “Just a quick note to say that we have already had three ladies visits our Centre Management to say how nice the art work is in the Parents Room. They are stunning! Thank you for your professional manner and persistence, in knowing this artwork and the colouring would work instead of the same old boring prints. It all adds a style to the rooms. I am glad I listened to you!”
Geoff Cook Centre Manager, Ipswich Riverlink Shopping Centre
And from the interior designer ”I personally have been very pleased with the end result and overall upgrade to the Riverlink parent room including the artwork created by Works for Your House.

We required our store to be warm, distinctive and classic and to truly reflect our desire for a child’s space and this she has captured this beautifully. Her dedication and professional commitment to our shop has been exemplary and her murals can only be described in one word – magical.”

Works With Little Pros - Eidelweiss
“My Husband Ken, Emily and myself would like to thankyou for the great day Emily spent with you painting "Edelweiss. What a memorable birthday treat it was for Emily.
Although she tired by the end of the day, Emily thoroughly enjoyed herself! She has always loved anything arty, be it drawing, colouring or painting, & when I saw the Works For Your House ad in the local glossy I knew instantly that was the perfect birthday gift for Emily. She, and I, learnt many new techniques (we especially liked learning how to vignette) throughout the day. A big thank you also for the added farm house and little extras added to the painting free of charge after the day! What a great service. Your advice for decorating Emily's room has also been invaluable. As if all this wasn't enough, we then found out that Emily's day with you featured on the front cover of the "Norht Lakes Messenger" with a small story about her day inside!! How fantastic is that to add to the memories!
My son can't wait for his paintings now - although he won't be patient enough for
