Marianne Orlando Illustrations — Local services in Framingham

For a Christmas present for our dear friend, I commissioned Marianne to do a portrait of Molly, his Bassett hound. Marianne approached the work very thoughtfully. She asked me key questions about Molly and her personality, and asked me to send her some images of Molly as well. It didn’t take Marianne too long to produce an excellent likeness of Molly, capturing her personality, and surrounded by a colorful background. The effect is what I would characterize as pure Marianne Orlando style— whimsical, colorful, and yet highly recognizable. Our friend loved the finished product, and hung “Molly” in a place of honor in his family room, where I see it each time we visit. And every time I look at it I think, “yes, that’s Molly all right, “ and then I smile. Thank...

I had Marianne draw a picture of my dog Monty as a very personal Christmas present for my husband. When he opened the gift on Christmas day, he was so taken aback by it that tears came to his eyes. He said it was beautiful and that he was going to place it in his office next to the little statue of Monty he had made. Marianne just created the drawing from a picture I gave her...and really focused on the details of our pup. She is incredibly talented, easy to work with and truly loves what she does. I was so pleased with the end result and highly recommend her services to anyone looking to give someone a very special one of a kind...

My husband and I commissioned Marianne to illustrate our home. She has been an absolute joy to work alongside! We supplied her with images, gave some direction on what to highlight and she delivered in spades. She provided initial sketches showing us different angles that best highlighted certain assets. Once we decided on the angle, she asked for more detailed images when she couldn't make them out from our photos. The end result is absolutely perfect! We are blown away. You will not regret having her illustrate your home, favorite pet, or special loved one. Thank you, Marianne for a wonderful working experience and stellar...
