"My family cherishes the painting Cary made of our late, beloved dog Frankie. In just a few brush strokes, Cary miraculously captured Frankie's lively, loving personality and spirit. Cary is a veritable pet paint whisperer. We also hang Cary's spectacular still life of a mango on our kitchen wall. The painting is so realistic that its lush warmth radiates, "eat me." Living every day with Cary's mango is life enhancing. I couldn't endorse her work with more enthusiasm!"

"We absolutely love the portrait Cary painted of our dog. She captured her perfectly, from her expression and beautiful blue eyes to the personality that makes her her. It makes me smile every time I see it and is such a special piece that our family will treasure forever."

"We have the beautiful painting that Cary did of our red barn, white storage building and corral. It provides us a view in the house that we no longer have from inside the house. Cary captures the essence of the scene as it appears but not as a photograph but as a proper representation."

"Cary painted my dogs’ portraits and there can be no better memorial to my two faithful companions. Thank you Cary for capturing their lively spirits and giving me something so wonderful to remember them by!"

"I love my burnt orange barn painting by Cary. At first glance, it's a simple image, but wonderful subtleties of color and shape emerge the more you study it. It hangs in my office and takes me blissfully away to New Hampshire every time I see it."

"I received a wonderful painting as a thank you gift from Cary. The scene is a perfect depiction of our summer rental with the lawn, sailboats, Osprey nest, and ocean view - a scene that means so much to us. We have it prominently displayed in our home and I love it. One of the best “thank you” gifts I have ever received. It makes me happy every time I see it."

"Cary painted my mother's terrier, Brio, as a present. It is charming and a great depiction. It has provided endless pleasure and has a place of honor."

"Cary, who knows about my love of all things rabbit, gave me Leaping Bunny as a gift at a very challenging moment in my life. Caught in mid-air, paws off the ground, stretched long, with bright eyes and perked ears, this bunny is pure energy and joy. She almost leaps off the canvas, moving with the same vigor as the rabbits that ravage the basil in my garden. I see my painting every day because it hangs in my kitchen and I smile. To me, Leaping Bunny is a reminder to keep moving forward with purpose, even during dark times. She is Netch's talent, kindness, energy and joie de vive wrapped into one."

"My two Netch paintings hang one above the other, connected only by their pastoral feel and my fondness for them, and they're a welcome part of every morning. I grew up attending Cheley Colorado Camps and slept in covered wagons as a boy. Having that little slice of my childhood in the American West in my Brooklyn apartment brings exactly the coziness I want in my bedroom. My most treasured Netch, though, is her portrait of Duke, my Labrador who passed away in 2024. She captured him so completely that it still feels like he's sleeping nearby."

"I feel so privileged to have received a Netch portrait of our dogs, as a surprise birthday gift from Cary. She captured the dogs’ likeness and spirit, eyes and expressions with her generous brushstrokes and vibrant colors. This portrait reflects what I see and love about these dogs every day. Thank you Cary!"
