Liz is an amazing artist that came to our baby shower for four hours and all the guest love happy and excited for their image. She work diligently on a large crowd and did beautiful work. Her characters were fun and captured the essence of our guess. It was definitely something to remember. 10/10 would recommend! There was always a line, but she worked through them quickly and efficiently and pretty much everyone who wanted an image got one! Thank you again Liz for your beautiful work!!!!!
