"My business focuses on using stable and radiogenic geochemistry, not something common to many of the people that I work with. Kelly's ability to construct clear, well-designed and highly aesthetic images has helped me convey complex geochemical reactions and geochemical patterns with ease."
-Dr. Ryan Mathur, geologist
"Kelly was excellent to work with; she is organized, quick to respond to email communications, produces work that transmits information (crucial for scientific illustration) and work that is often beautiful."
-Dr. Paula Martin, water scientist
"[I] have been more than pleased with the quality of Kelly's work, and with her ability to capture the essence of new creatures in a new landscape."
-Dr. Bill McLarney, ichthyologist
