I treasure your work, and I treasure the memories you have allowed me to cherish by having my ancestors visible and a part of my daily life. Thank you.

MJ was a big help when it came to choosing new furniture pieces, as well as new fabrics that would coordinate with each other to re-cover existing chairs. She re-framed existing pieces and provided some new art work that really allows the three areas to flow together & complement each other.

MJ worked with our team to stage a vacant property that sold the next day for asking price in a tight buyers’ market.

Her ability to visualize traffic flow patterns and effective furniture placement, as well as having the creativity to design spaces to best enhance the rooms played a strong role in the property selling quickly and for top dollar.

We sought Mari Jane’s help when we were looking to “update” some of the decorating in our eighteen year old home. The resulting colour changes really enhance this unique feature of our home, and gave us the warmer tones we had wanted.

It is always a pleasure to work with MJ of Art Effects. She is an esteemed professional whose confidence at once puts you at ease. Her accurate taste in style and colours is inspiring and she turns four walls into a work of art.

What a gift you give people when you put your heart and talents into materializing keepsakes/photos/memories for years to come and future generations to enjoy.

Thank you once again for the framing MJ, the print looks great!! It was something that I have been meaning to get framed for a while, and I’m so glad that our paths crossed which allowed for you to do it. Your recommendations supplemented the art immensely, the framing work is amazing and the added touch is truly appreciated!

Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this framing project so special for me. You do the same with everything but this was very personal and greatly appreciated. We hung the memory box in our bedroom. Amazing work you do.
