My experience at Sovereign was outstanding. Manny did a memorial piece for my cat and when he was finished I was in tears. This was a very important piece for me and the final result far exceeded my expectations. The studio was super clean, bright, and filled with beautiful artwork. I've been to a lot of different shops that felt cliquey and made me feel like an outsider. This was far from the case here. I spent almost 10 hours at Sovereign and felt welcome and comfortable with Manny, Niko, and Irene. It's easy to see that there's a really good family vibe there and they do their absolute best to make their customers feel a part of that.
