Testimonials & Reviews
"Abby is amazing. Plain and simple. I commissioned her to do a watercolor painting of our home for my husbands birthday. The painting turned out even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. The amount of detail and the colors were absolutely beautiful. Abby is professional, friendly and wonderful to work with. I loved her so much that I signed my son up for one of her art classes at Little Chicken in Atlantic Highlands for her “art appreciation class”. He absolutely loved it and I recommended the class and Abby to all of my friends. I have actually had about 5 friends since sharing - use Abby to paint their own homes as well - all have been pleased :)”

“All I can say is WOW. Words cannot express how special Abby made us feel on our wedding day with the most thoughtful champagne bottle commission. From every detail on the bottle she not only captured the spirit of our special day, but every single thing that represented us. Over a year later and every day I walk by it in our kitchen I look at it in awe and smile. Abby puts her whole heart and soul into every piece of art she produces and truly cares for who the recipient is receiving it. She connects souls with art in a way I have never seen and could not be more excited with how our special Veuve bottle came out, or all the other incredibly beautiful and unique art pieces we have from Abby. Do not hesitate to reach out to this magical soul today to start your vision planning and see it come to life.”

“Abby is such a talented, detail oriented, and thoughtful artist. After meeting her a year ago at an art show and falling in love with her one of a kind Christmas ornaments, I commissioned her to create a little gift for my future husband on our wedding day. She was able to create a beautiful oyster shell ring dish that was exactly what I envisioned. She got every single detail perfect all down to the colors in my dress. The process was so fun, relaxed, and personable. The best part was picking up the shell on her sailboat and spending the afternoon with her and Max. We can’t wait to commission another shell for our next milestone!”

"Abby is a true unicorn! Not only is she kind and fun, but supremely talented! She has been a godsend for gifts for my family and we have come to lean on her magic time and time again! Her collaborative energy ensures everyone is seen in the finished product. She has created custom photos in oyster shells for bridal showers, birthdays. For my mom’s most recent birthday she helped me choose the perfect direction in which she painted on a beautiful bottle of champagne! You cannot go wrong with anything Abby puts her hand on.“

"The first class my daughter took with Abby they were learning about Van Gogh. Every student did their own take on Starry Night and it was incredible to see how each child interpreted it. Every piece was so different. I knew right then we had found someone really special. Abby is not only talented but so sweet and really teaches the kids about the artist. My daughter actually asked for a book about Dorothea Lange after learning about her. She’s also incredibly generous-when she was commissioned to do a mural at Dock Donuts she let the class also be a part of it. Like what an incredibly thoughtful thing to do. My daughter has now taken every series she has offered at Little Chicken. We may be groupies. We have also commissioned Abby to do a Christmas ornament and a piece for my aunt after her beloved dog passed away. Abby puts so much care into her work. I cannot recommend taking her classes enough. It’s been truly remarkable to see how my daughter’s work has progressed. My family-especially Grandma!-absolutely adores her.“
"Abby is an absolute gem and so talented! I worked with her for my wedding and she did an AMAZING job customizing meaningful gifts. My friends and family loved the hand painted shells and I was thrilled with the outcome. Working with Abby was such an easy and fun process - 10/10 recommend! I will definitely be working with her again to create special gifts for loved ones!“
