"....Vera you did a fabulous job. You were very quick and especially clean. You were open to criticism and you were always ready to please Sam and myself. I will have no problem in recommending you to my friends and family....."               Teresa B. 

" Thanks for doing such a nice job of our bathroom walls. For us, it's a real change to have the glazing done - it looks like suede. Now that we are finished & have the curtain up & new towels it all came together real well.   Thanks again,         Joyce & Milton

“Vera did a wonderful job plastering over our old brick fireplace. It looks completely different. The old panel wall is now filled in and has a soft glaze finish. Our family room has changed from a cold, dated-looking space to a warm and cozy room with “old world” charm. Thanks Vera! “                                                   Debbie & Andy  

"I truly can't praise Vera enough. She has painted 90% of my main floor, and is now painting my downstairs area. Vera is hardworking, punctual & extremely artistic, having used her talents to paint some murals in a couple of my rooms. She also has a lovely personality & is extremely easy to work with. I would highly recommend Vera to anyone wanting to use her gifted abilities."                                                               Shelagh M.                                    

"We are happy with our teddy bear mural you painted in our nursery. The other walls you painted in the room finish the look & have given us just what we were hoping for. We truly appreciate your timely response & it really made us feel like you understood our needs. We look forward to  the  "many" hours we will spend in our nursery with our little one & what beautiful walls to be surrounded in."                                Melanie & Angelo

"Vera painted both of my children's rooms in themes and did an outstanding job. My daughter loved her butterflies, and my son's reaction when he saw his outer space room was a jaw dropping "WOW".  My husband and I were both really impressed and would recommend Vera to anyone."                                           Shelley M.

"I have no hesitation in recommending Vera's work. She is diligent, punctual, and meticulous in the set up, execution of and clean up process. At the start of the projects she completed for my home she gave me examples and options. She listened to my ideas & we brainstormed around the designers suggestions. As the work progressed, Vera reported in to me daily & we again had discussions on the look we wanted. In particular I am thrilled with my kitchen - vibrant red walls alongside stainless steel appliances. The cupboards & drawers are antiqued white and together give a very unique look to my condo. I have had other painters in the past and always felt "under seige"! Working with Vera was as painless as possible. Next year I'll be asking Vera to come back & finish the rest of my condo!                                                                              Cynthia W.

"I hated my kitchen cupboards and was going to replace them. Vera showed me some samples and I knew right away it would work. Now, I love them. Not only is Vera creative, she's reliable and professional. A pleasure to work with. I look forward to more creative endeavors with Vera."                                                      Cathy M.

"...she is quick, and has a very good sense of design and colour. This term Vera has produced some good quality art work. She is talented in this subject, and very artistically inclined...."                                                                     C. Quan (my grade 5 teacher :-) )

"Thank you for all of your wonderful work! Your wonderful murals in Spencer's room has made the planes, trains, & automobiles theme come to life, and the subtle dragonfly and pussy willow details in the nursery have made the room soft & sweet. Thanks again Vera."                                                                                    Lisa & Arthur D.

".....Your ideas and expertise produced results that were above our expectations. We appreciated your promptness and quick working pace, while still paying close attention to detail. Overall the bedroom was great, but the feature wall really brought the whole room to life creating a focal point with the subtle color change and the faux finish......the room has become a haven, not just a bedroom."                                     Jean P. & Stewart B.

"Very professional service! Clean, tidy, conscientious service provided in timely manner. Would have no hesitation in recommending 'Genuine Art Effects' to anyone. Thank you Vera!"                                                                                   Jeannine R.

"You have an eye for choosing just the right colours and designs. I love the finishing that you did on the elephant. Your work is very professional."               Julie H.

"The Shimmerstone finish was a perfect choice for our feature wall in the living room/dining room area. The result was spectacular!"                                  Carolyn T.

"We are very pleased with the outcome of our painting. Service supplied was excellent. Vera is friendly & courteous. We would not hesitate to refer Vera."    Yvonne G.

"...Vera herself was so open to my ideas pluss added her own artistic vision and far exceeded what I had in mind. her enthusiasm in the work she is doing is contagious. She likes to see the clients expression when they see her work......I hope to have Vera do more art work in my house so that it will reflect my ideas & her artistic talent. To me it becomes my home rather than just a nice house......"                              Dianne B.
