"Amber Kappes paints portraits with a rare skill and honesty. Colors are vivid and inviting, and poses are casual, almost candid. This, coupled with her natural grasp of the subtlety of human expression, creates a dreamy intimate, realism. Her subjects are somber but relaxed and look dead-on at the viewer, as if on the verge of revealing a deep, personal secret. Her portraits' inherent humanity is a testament to the connection Ms. Kappes feels to the people she chooses to paint. it is truly a worthy compliment from an excellent artist." -Steven Williams
