What Clients Are Saying
“This year I had the distinct pleasure of working with Rebeca Garcia-Gonzalez as she illustrated my children’s book. From our first meeting to the final published book she was professional, thoughtful, and creative. Rebeca took my rough sketches and text, listened to my vision for the final picture book, engaged in a consistent exchange of ideas, and offered creative input that made my book better. She was able to use her amazing artistic skills to turn my visual ideas into a children’s picture book that is not only aesthetically engaging, but matches the text perfectly. She was easy to reach by both email and phone, and her work arrived electronically according to the agreed upon schedule. My experiences with Rebeca surpassed any previous ideas I had about working in tandem with an illustrator, and I look forward to another project with Rebeca at the artistic helm!”— R. D.
“The portrait experience with artist Rebeca Garcia-Gonzalez was exceptional! My elderly parents had never sat for a portrait and Rebeca made them feel at ease and comfortable. She quickly gained their trust while she worked. We were astonished at how quickly she worked and the end result was moving. She was able to accurately capture their likeness, essence, and personalities in the portrait. We are so happy with the portrait and feel honored to have worked with a warm and professional artist. I highly recommend Rebeca for your portrait commission.” — M. A.
“I am extremely satisfied with the work I commissioned. Not only by the final product, which exceeded my expectations, but also by the very clear process you outlined and we worked through together. It felt like a true collaboration from start to finish. Your initial quote had exactly the right level of detail and it included a staged approach with a timeline that I appreciated. I loved that we went back and forth with black and white thumbnail sketches before you moved to the color illustrations. I also appreciated how much you understood this was a very special project for me. You really listened, carefully reviewed the ideas I sent you, and did your own research to imagine my childhood places from decades earlier. The result is a beautiful bespoke book that I know my family, especially my sister, will cherish.”— K. C.
“One of the many paintings that grace the walls of my home is an exterior architectural rendering of my Berkeley Hills house painted by Rebeca Garcia-Gonzalez. I love it and many visitors immediately recognize it and comment on how “cool” it is to have a painting of my house. Rebeca came over for the day and painted it masterfully in terms of perspective, scale, color, and composition. She was a delight to work with and I shall forever treasure her gift to me.” — J. M.
“I commissioned Rebeca to paint a picture of one of my favorite bay views, and she captured it very very nicely. In addition, she went with me out to the site to make sure she got the proportions and colors right, completing a small sketch before starting the painting itself. It was a pleasure to work with her and she was timely in delivering the final product. I have continued to collect Rebeca’s art and now have several of her paintings.” — N. B.
