“Cody Esp did the most wonderful water color of our dog Finnbar. We were so impressed that we told a lot of our friends! Many also had their pet painted by Cody and they all were just as happy. Cody has a intuitive way of capturing the SOUL of our pets!” Dennis and Lori Borlek, Owner of Fathom Bistro Bait and Tackle.
“I first saw Cody's art when a friend of mine had a pet portrait done of his dog who passed away. I was amazed at the detail and how she captured his expression so perfectly and knew I had to have her do a portrait of my "heart dog" Miss Puppyness. It turned better than I ever could have imagined - I literally cried when I first saw it. I've since referred several friends to Cody and have had her do a second portrait of one of my other dogs. She's amazing!” - Katie Earle, Vet Assistant and Dog Rescuer
Client testimonial “ Working with Cody was delightful, she designed my logo and did some illustrations for my website. She was easy to collaborate with and truly was able to capture the nature of my brand.” - Allison Herby, Doula & owner of Heirloom Birth
“Working with Cody is a real pleasure! Her natural talent and design knowledge are refined and produce amazing results”_Kirby Urtigia founder of Babewell
Maker's Mark was founded by Bill and Margie Samuels in 1953. There is a saying that you buy your first bottle of Maker's Mark because of Margie and every bottle after that because of Bill. Margie came up with the name, the wax, bottle shape, and it is her hand writing on the label. Since the inception of our company, art and the feelings it can create, has been at the heart of what we do at Maker's Mark.
On March, 8th 2020 we hosted an event to celebrate International Women's Day and the local "Makers" of San Diego. While most of the artist that interact with Maker's Mark on a daily basis are behind a bar I thought it was also important to feature the same kind of art started our brand, the kind that begins by putting a brush to canvas.
We asked Cody Esp to paint a portrait of Margie Samuels during the event. What she created was not only artistically stunning but also brought to life the entire soul of what really makes Maker's Mark special, the way it can make you feel and it's ability to bring people together. I have never been more proud in my career to share the gift of Cody's piece with our current president of Maker's Mark and Margie's grandson, Rob Samuels.
