Darcy Simonson debuted her Essence Sketches as a part of her solo art exhibit at Nichole's Fine Pastry, Fargo ND. She works quickly, intuitively and artistically to capture the first impression essence of an individual's body, mind, and soul in a few well-placed, precisely executed strokes of charcoal on paper. She is professional in her delivery and relationship with both customer and vendor. Darcy has a gifted talent resulting in a special product for the consumer and a unique event for the promoter. She can work within any setting from outdoor shows and fairs, to upscale gallery and corporate settings. She's lovely within and without!
--Vicky Jo Bogart, Curator/Coordinator A Woman's Perspective Multimedia Art Exhibitions and Events
Darcy is so easy to approach and she draws you in with her gentle and tender nature. There is a sense of joy and peace as people one by one walk away with their essence sketch, so accurately reflecting who they are inside. It was truly amazing to watch her affecting so many women in such a positive light. She is able to express the essence of others just by being in their presence. A true treasure!
--Chanda Parkinson, Intuitive and owner of Parkinson Productions, regarding WomanSong 2007 event
I received an EssenceSketch when Darcy created them at one of my Diva Dance events, and I felt I was connecting with my soul at a deeper level, in an artistic way. Essence Sketches are a wonderful and unique gift that you can give to yourself and to those you truly love. I just gave one to my sister as a present and she loved it. Darcy is a true Goddess and her talent is divine!
--Chris Linnares, Best-selling Brazilian author, psychologist, and founder of Diva Dance
I had the honor of meeting Darcy at a conference we both attended in Minneapolis and I was intrigued when she mentioned her Essence Sketches. Before we parted, Darcy had completed my sketch as well as one that I could offer as a gift to my mentor. Her ability to capture each person's unique spirit is truly amazing! Several friends and coworkers have now viewed these pieces and are very interested in bringing Darcy to Ohio so that she can create sketches for them, too.
