Testimonials

“To the art collectors out there: thank you for "getting" us. As artists we work alone in our studios, putting ourselves onto the canvas for days, weeks, or months, adding layer after layer, expressing our hopes and dreams, seeking connection with our viewers. It's the same place you stand when you examine the finished work. We walk together.” ~Cat Tesla

“We are thrilled at the prospect of owning a piece of your original work. The way that you’re customizing it for us makes it an even bigger treat. This painting is beautiful, but also a warm reminder of taking your workshop, Abstracting Nature. I grew to appreciate your art even more during the workshop. I think that was enhanced because I came to deeply appreciate not just your talent, but you as a person - - reflective, kind, risk-taking (brave) and generous. That’s what I will think of when I look at the painting.” ~Sharon & Dave, collectors who commissioned Cat to create a custom painting for their home

“We own a great deal of original art in 3 homes & your masterpiece is at the top of our list. Can’t tell you about all the acclaim your fabulous painting has received by family & friends. Congrats on your very unique, transcending, and calming work.” ~Gary & Linda

“Was great to meet you and acquire such a wonderful piece of art. Looks good in all light, but especially so in the early morning. We are delighted at the peace, the mood, and the unknown that it invokes.” ~Peter & Sue

“Love, love, love your work. I feel it in my body every time I see it. Thank you for bringing peace into my home.” ~Linda

“Cat, it’s here, it’s here, it’s here!! And it’s GORGEOUS!” ~Faith

“I look at your painting first thing in the morning and last thing at night and draw peace & serenity from it as well as a renewed sense of the wonder of nature. It has become more special to me over time. I do not own a lot of art – it is always a splurge – and when I do purchase it is because I know I want to live with it for a long time. Your painting has become one of my special things – something I would grab and put in the car while we were evacuating from a flood. Thank you so much!” ~Jill

“Thank you for your inspiring work and the comfortable feeling it gives me.” ~Mike

“The painting arrived yesterday and is now safe & sound in my Manhattan apartment. I hung it in my living room above the fireplace, which is the focal point of the space and a place of honor. Well deserved, I might add. I love the dual sensations of both calm & strength that stir in me each time I stop to take a few quiet moments to take it all in. I love it.” ~Jeff

“Your beautiful artwork was exactly what we needed & wanted to help turn our house into a home. The colors help to create the atmosphere that we were looking for.”
~Denyse & Bruce

“It’s arrived! And it’s perfect!!! Very restful, and peaceful, and all the right colors. Thanks so much for a very special painting.” ~Stella

“Cat- We so enjoy the painting and your work! I love how it echoes the colors in the room and picks up the greens from outdoors. It has a home where it is loved and appreciated!”
~B. Cunningham

We own a lot of Cat’s artwork. Recently, we commissioned a piece by her of which we are extremely pleased. Cat was able to take our request and specifications and create an excellent piece of art in a very timely manor.” ~Lesley Parent

I just completed two commissions with Cat Tesla and am delighted to endorse both her and her work. In addition to her broad range of creative and artistic talent, Cat is both personable and a true professional. She communicates well, delivers on time, and is client centered in relation to exploring ideas to support the goals of the project. She is a good listener and helped me problem solve with around some of the challenging dynamics I encountered with my client. Cat gets 5 stars in my book and I will definitely work with her again.
