Testimonials
A caricature commission: My brother loved it. Thank you so much.
A military caricature commissioned for an official presentation: I just wanted to say that he was thrilled with his caricature which was presented to him on Friday evening. I report his pleasure and the many admiring comments from attendees at the dinner. Thank you so much for producing such a splendid likeness of a much loved regimental character!
A private customer who commissioned a caricature of a famous military officer: It is magnificent, better than I could ever have hoped for.
The Gallery Manager, The Mall Galleries, London,: If it wasn't considered sexist I would say life under 'Madam' Chairman (of the Armed Forces Art Society which exhibited annually at the galleries in The Mall) has been most successful and efficient and I doubt if things will be quite the same under new management ...by which I mean attention to detail and availability of time......
The Commanding Officer, 1st The Queen's dragoon Guards: Alix was commissioned to paint a picture reflecting 1st The Queen's Dragoon Guard's 2008/9 tour of Afghanistan. She is a fabulous artist with rich experience of painting military subjects and she rose to the challenge magnificently. A master of detail and rich in ideas and originality, she was able to capture our tour superbly by painting a scene that got to the core of why we were there - to help stabilise Afghanistan by improving security and helping to connect the people with their fledgling government. I thoroughly recommend her.
