I love this painting so much that I had it shipped from Israel to New York. It arrived in perfect condition, and is even more beautiful in person. We hung it in our kitchen as a reminder to always keep Israel and its brave soldiers in our hearts and prayers.

Shiran created a masterpiece in real time and it is now a focal point for my client’s home. It’s a beautiful piece to treasure forever. I really appreciated Shirans expertise and professionalism. She painted and allowed the wedding to continue all around her still staying focused and painting her piece of art.

Shiran was recommended by a friend and after seeing her impressive work online, I approached her to create a poster for my film. The process has been nothing by a wonderful experience, all due to Shiran’s tremendous and unique artistic talent but also, her great work ethic and a very personal dedication to the project. I couldn’t be happier with the poster she had created. I’ve been receiving many enthusiastic reaction to it. I hope we get to work together again in the future.

Shiran, your painting moves us every time. The moments of our family trip to Italy preserved within a single painting were painted with talent and emotion, and is a unique family heirloom that has no second!
