"It was very nice to visit your home studio on the “seventh sky” of Kokanee Friday night. When I looked at Elena Khomoutova’s paintings in the studio at that time, I realized that I have received additional energy from the paintings. There are a lot of light and kindness in her paintings. I felt powerful at the end of week, which was absolutely great. Thank you for so wonderful evening, and for the opportunity to see Elena’s paintings with powerful, light, spiritual energy..."

"Hello!
The cat print arrived today ... safely and in excellent condition. Thank you for shipping promptly and for sending the additional art card. It is beautiful, too. I have been to your website and I love your paintings. I like alot of color in my life and your work appeals to me.
The cat art print is going to my son and daughter-in-law's home as they have an orange cat very similar to the one on the art print."

"...what I find fascinating, is that she finds the greatest pleasure in working with people to capture those special places or images that we each cherish in our minds.
They might be a special memory from childhood or they might be a dream of something we have to reach.
...But that's what makes it so special to her clients, and satisfying for her."

-Mike Ouellette, from letter to CJOH TV

" Dear Mrs. Khomoutova,
...I sent you a letter a few days ago ...to tell you how proud I am to exhibit your paintings. I love them!
A couple of weeks ago two young lovers came to the Gallery, I spoke with them and showed your works. A couple of weeks later the young man came to the Gallery before leaving Québec for Pragues and bought the "Seven kisses" and Fireworks" to offer them as a gift for his lover. The paintings were perfect for them.
Thank you for the magic moment you put in our lives with your paintings."
