Testimonials
"Your work has left me speechless! It is absolutely stunning! I love your style & stories behind every single piece. Your art reminds me of things I'd see in children's books, but it still has that realistic quality that makes it more mature. I also love how all of your women have figures. To draw the human form in its beauty, & not how we see it in our minds, is such a gift. You have amazing talent & I can't wait to see more!"
- Bri. A. Herber
"You've brilliantly captured the beauty that alludes our stick-figure media. Kudos."

"I'm so tired of the skinny evil little fairies everyone makes. Its nice to see a fresh idea thrown out there every once in a while."

On "Kindred Spirits": "Holy cow, I love this picture. So much. Let's say nothing of your skill with colour and rendering, because that's obvious. I think it's the lovely, maternal quality of the woman in this picture. Maybe it says something about my vocabulary, but I don't know how to explain what it is in this picture that makes me so comfortably impressed. Good for you for having this skill. I'm jealous."
"Hi, I've just discovered your artwork through Heaven and Earth Designs cross stitch charts. First, let me say that I LOVE your drawings. I have bought all of your charts so far, and am looking forward to seeing more!"
-Shannon from Frankfort, Indiana
"I love your artwork! I love faeries!"
-Amber De la Warr of Pixie Potions from Texas.
"Hi there, finally stopping by. You inspire me! I've been a designer for so long that I've neglected my drawing. I really like what you've done with your site as well. I'm guessing your talent is from your mom's side. Not that Donn's mom isn't talented, but the Doughertys/Barbers I've met haven't really shown an aptitude for creativity. It's refreshing to me, since I'm an in-law. Keep up the good work and NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS. Hopefully we can chat again sometime."
-Cheri Dougherty (My cousin's wife.)
"I personally have received moonpaw memorabilia and keep it all in highest place. I am so happy to know this amazing artist, and although she and I haven't spoken in quite some time, I am so blessed to know her, and to be known by her."
-Barry Cole
"Your gallery
lifts my heart into the clouds. You really shift my gears."

"Scotia and I just moved into our new place not too long ago, all the commissions I paid for a while back and all the stuff Scotia bought are adorning the whole of our dwelling. The anniversary commission you did with Scotia and I was/is incredible. Even years after it was done, I can't help but stop my normal routine and admire it over a cup of coffee. It warms my heart just looking at it. Your work and your technique are completely unique, I love seeing new works from you."

"Just wanted to tell you in the vast wilderness of
people, you seem quite cool. Nice job on the name, btw (moonpaw) -- Hope it
takes off for 'ya. Don't sacrifice doing what you love and things will work
out. A life of passion doing what you love isn't something you see everyday,
keep at it!"
