Hampshire Cultural Trust WW1 Exhibition - Soliders' Journey Mural
ref:Esther is a skilled and talented artist, and lovely to work with. She interpreted our brief very well and managed to incorporate changes and comments with ease and flexibility. She not only created a beautiful artwork but also helped us to find the best solution of producing it as a temporary large wall sized mural. I would definitely recommend her - Annaleida Van de Meent-Schepers.

Orchard House Mural, located in Southampton. Created with Aspace for Stonewater Housing. Image exploring the changing vibrant uses of the site and the feel of a creative, busy city.
ref: Esther is an extremely talented professional illustrator who creates artwork of an exceptionally high standard. Her natural drawing abilities are evident through the work she produces, and when backed by her diligent attitude she delivers high quality work on time and budget. These skills, and more, were demonstrated when we commissioned Esther to produce a large-scale external mural for a client; the results were excellent and I look forward to working with her again. - Dan Crow, Aspace Arts.
