Adrienne is one fo the most personable and giving of talents here on flickr. And, her talents and skill abound. Matuko's stream is always a pleasure to visit and I am so touched by all the comments and supports she offers. She is truly a gem and they don't get much better than her. I only wish I lived closer and am very envious of all those California meets that get to hang with her. And, I swear if I'm ever in Pasadena I am stopping at Elements for a treat and maybe some conversation with one of my most favorite and adored flickr friends. Thank you Adrienne for the very cherished kind comments you leave behind. They make my day!

What an amazing artist! I showed my daughter some of the paintings of Fairies that she has done and she flipped out. She loves that stuff so much. I'm so grateful for people like Adrienne to inspire the younger generation. My daughter loves to draw and color and I know it's because of influences like this that she … Read more

What an amazing artist! I showed my daughter some of the paintings of Fairies that she has done and she flipped out. She loves that stuff so much. I'm so grateful for people like Adrienne to inspire the younger generation. My daughter loves to draw and color and I know it's because of influences like this that she does so well at it. Oh, and to top it off Adrienne is about the nicest person I have yet to encounter on flickr. I'm so bummed I didn't get a chance to meet her and her amazing husband while I lived in Southern California, but I'm hoping to make it to a meet up one of the times we're down visiting.

I stumbled by accident on Matuko's extraordinary art work and I was immediately touched, humbled...blown away! I run an entertainment design studio and have been designing in the industry for over 30 years, I immediately knew that I was in the presence of genius!

I stumbled by accident on Matuko's extraordinary art work and I was immediately touched, humbled...blown away! I run an entertainment design studio and have been designing in the industry for over 30 years, I immediately knew that I was in the presence of genius! Her art exudes warmth, love, comfort in a kind of whimsical expression of hope. Nothing but happiness comes from her revealing stories through art and photography!

matuko is the most valuable contact that you can meet on flickr. Her photos speak volumes of her love for her subjects. What's more, her love for life spills over from every shot she takes. I have learned so much from her photostream. She is the only person I know who can make flowers look as delectable as desserts and desserts look like works of art. Her new posts always make my day! Thank you, Adrienne.

There's so much to say about this woman's photos, I don't know where to begin. I think what I see in her and about her through her photos, is that she has such a love of life.

There's so much to say about this woman's photos, I don't know where to begin. I think what I see in her and about her through her photos, is that she has such a love of life. Adrienne is one contact whose photos I can't wait to see. They are full of wonderful surprises. It's easy to see that family and friends are so very important to her. The love and devotion are evident in her many photos of them. And what's not to like about all the food and flowers she captures so well. She tempts our senses ad infinitum! And please have a look at Adrienne's photos that she has painted either with Photo shop/Corel Painter. They are simply exquisite and amazing. Adrienne is truly one very talented lady!

To write a testimonial for Matuko is something very special for me. Matuko is one of my first contacts at Flickr and a very special one, for sure she tops my list. When I first came here I knew very few people but she was always there for me: always kind words, always gave her time to come by and comment on my photos. I can tell she takes her time and writes with emotion about my work which is something that always makes my day. Well, what else could one expect from such a talented artist? It is a true honor to have you as a contact and someone who follows my work. Someone whos work I trully admire and came to know. Thank you so much for being there! Again, please accept my appreciation from the bottom of my heart. Alessandro

Does a flickr contact get any better than Adrienne? She is a wonderful and uplifting woman and every single time I see her comment on my stream it brings a huge smile to my face. I know she touches many many many people here on flickr. When I saw the paint she did of my daughter i was floored. I've always appreciated her work but to see a photograph of one of the loves of my life portrayed with all of her talent it made me so happy and warm inside.

Adrienne has a long list of testimonials, and deservedly so. I wander back to her older pics on Flickr often because I just enjoy her work so very much!

Adrienne has a long list of testimonials, and deservedly so. I wander back to her older pics on Flickr often because I just enjoy her work so very much! I believe we are all here to add value to the lives of those who cross our paths...to improve the quality of their life. Adrienne has certainly done that for me. Her art, whether whimsical or serious portraiture...whether by camera or other media, brings such joy and beauty into my life every day. I am delighted that I met her here! I always wished I could sketch/paint, but it doesn't seem to be where my talent lies. I am so thrilled that I can selfishly experience that dream vicariously through Adrienne's wonderful talent. She is blessed in so many ways, and she in turn blesses us with the sharing of her talent!!! She is such a lovely person with a kind and encouraging spirit about her! However, I must urge you to be cautious when visiting her photostream...she and her work are addictive!!!

my sister is a gifted artist. she exhibited her gift early in life. as a child, she was very sweet and quiet. i remember that about adrienne. becoming a teenager, she began to display her quest to live this life on her terms; as a woman, i think she does just that. i don't agree with my sister on many things about life but i love her dearly. my heart melts when i see her or hear her voice (unless i've decided to be upset with her and that doesn't last for long). i feel very blessed to call adrienne my sister. she has been a bright spot in my life. thanks for being adrienne, i've learned many things from you.
