“I decided on a Cleethorpes theme for my art. It’s where I live and I’ve always loved the coast. I took a few photographs of the resort - just some snaps of what appealed or what seem to be representative or give a flavour of the town. Rather embarrassed at my efforts I gave the pictures to Rhian - really with no great expectations. You can’t imagine my delight and surprise when a short while later Rhian produced a beautiful bespoke piece of art. I love her use of colour, she caught the essence of the resort, its vibrancy and character and I was over the moon with the result. It was wonderful to have something so personal to me and so unique.”

I supplied a selection of photographs taken during a trip of a lifetime to Machu Picchu in Peru and I had no idea how these would be combined into a piece of art. The selection contained a mixture of vast panoramas, wildlife and portraits which anybody would find difficult to integrate.
When I was presented with the finished piece of art I was amazed as it far exceeded my expectations. The elements from the majority of our favourite photographs had been beautifully combined into a piece of stunning abstract art. What impressed me most was the professionalism of dare to know throughout the whole process, in particular the enthusiasm and energy to create something of immense personal value. We’re very proud to have such a unique piece of art that captures such wonderful memories.

I regularly work with Rhian on various client photography shoots. As an Interactive Marketer, it’s important that I work with someone that also knows the goal of the project. Rhian is very good at interpreting your needs, whilst also bringing in her own passion and style to a job (she has a special talent where people or animals are concerned). She clearly enjoys her work, and is flexible, friendly, and stress free in her approach which is extremely helpful to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any project - corporate or otherwise!

Rhian was responsible for exhibition panels and catalogue. She was original and innovative in concept, fast-thinking and adaptable; understood the intellectual aims therefore responded sympathetically enhancing the aims of the exhibition; was unflappable under immense stress and produced on time a catalogue that has been imitated by other institutions in the field. Rhian was also huge fun to work with. I have never before or since worked with a better designer.”

“On the day Rhian was fantasitsc, she was available nearly all day, during the ceremony she blended into the background. We took all the pictures that we had asked for, and Rhian had some great ideas.
I was so pleased when i saw the finished product, the end result was fantastic, and Rhian had some great ideas on how we could present the photos in a different way. We were given all the photos and were able to chose what to do next with them and were not tied into anythying.
The service was professional, fresh, and timely. I would use Rhian again for a special event in an instant.”

She showed a great range of skills, got on well with all the club members and we very much look forward to working with her again in the future.”

‘Working with Rhian of dare to know on improving our reception through art was easy: she understood the brief and just got on with the job. Now, our reception receives lots of attention; the three pieces she did made a vast improvement to the look and feel of our building. I’d highly recommend Rhian as a bespoke artist as she was easy to work with, highly creative and enthusiastic in meeting our needs.”
