"Beautiful beautiful works! While I collect primarily 18th and 19th century French, Italian, and English "academic" works (along with the late 19th and early 20th century impressionisms), the juxtaposition of "Unforgettable Pearl" and "Ocean Eyes" makes visitors stop in their tracks. Love it. Ms. Coates is a very talented artist. I look forward to installing the lighting above the work. Thank you!"

"I love RBG more everyday! Your painting captures the essence of my journey more than you can imagine! Thank you for hand delivery, and giving me the history, meaning of  this precious piece, it means so much!"

"I am in love with "Dreams that will never be.." So many messages, an important part of history and I own it! The care and packaging was incredible! Your art affects people more than you think and people appreciate and connect with the story you are telling. You have such a gift Karen, and you make a difference."

Karen has created the wall, door and furniture finishes in many of the businesses and high-end homes I photographed in Tyler, Texas. The range of her work is extraordinary and includes faux finishes, faux wood, custom finishes and murals. I've seen her work in contemporary, traditional and Mediterranean homes and commercial buildings. Karen is an artist and perfectionist, so she and her team always finish every job and exceed every business and owner expectations. I've spoken with most of these owners, and they are always proud to show Karen's work and to have me photograph it.

Karen performed specialized paint finishes, art design and furniture painting. The work was done in two dental offices and one private residence. Her acrylic art pieces were installed in the dentist office and look beautiful.  Her work was very professionally done in a timely manner. She is an excellent artist!

We were very fortunate to connect with Karen. The work was delivered as and when promised in a very professional manner and Karen was great at communicating with us during the project. The faux painting has undoubtedly become the WOW factor in my home, and Karen is truly an artist!

I am a general contractor and architect. I am able to leave them manage my job sites when I am away. I almost gave up on painters, especially the art of faux finishing, until I met Karen. I am very happy with the quality of the art and faux finishes done in my office.

Karen was totally professional, understood exactly what I had in mind - brought several samples, was always punctual and proved very trustworthy! She had her own unique wood finishes and was able to add the faux touches that made her work outstanding --- I would definitely recommend her to other seeking this type of service!

Quite honestly I didn't know what to expect! But Wow, what a beautiful outcome! Karen is talented and does outstanding work. She was always on time, knew her job, always polite and courteous and kept us informed of what was going on. We are so thrilled with the results; we have been telling everyone and showing everyone who comes into our home. The refinishing met and surpassed our expectations. My wife loves having cabinets that are exactly what she wanted.

Karen helped us with several key elements of a kitchen remodel of our home located on Lake Palestine in 2010. Karen provided faux paint finishes for us on our kitchen center island and powder room cabinets. The work turned out beautifully and we get many compliments from guests on the finishes."
