Artists & Artisans in Kansas City, MO

“Payne Creations made my backsplash tile for my kitchen and it was extraordinary. I know that I have a one-of-a-kind backsplash that no one else has. Very professional. Very courteous. Very talented.”

“This lady has talent! I have seen her art progress over the years and her creativity gets more and more refined with every piece she creates. We have several pieces of her art, as well as photography and sculpture throughout our home, which was featured in KC Magazine. Her art stands out in a crowd with bold colors and abstract expression. I would recommend her to any professional for staging purposes or for a beautiful piece of unique art in the home. It's only a matter of time before her art explodes in the KC scene.”

“I have bought several paintings from Carolyn. Her artwork is gorgeous and reasonably priced. She delivers promptly and great to deal with I will be buying more of her paintings in the future. Gayle Estabrooks St. Louis, Missouri”

“KCNC; i.e., Rick Williams has completed three projects for me. One was a kitchen cabinet replacement in Leawood, Kansas and the other two are fine furniture projects. Rick has photos of all three projects available for review. The cabinet project was removal of old, "stock" cabinets with custom designed and construction solid oak cabinets. He met with us to define the project, developed the arrangement and style characteristics for the cabinets, built all the units, and provided installation services. His design was very beneficial as we "fit" the new cabinets in a small galley kitchen. The construction and finish was exceptional, better than any commercial cabinets we looked at, and the installation was completed efficiently and smoothly. Overall, an outstanding job. The furniture projects really gave Rick an opportunity to express his outstanding design skills. One was a mahogany writing desk and accompanying chair. He worked very closely with me on the design. The table is a prized possession over 20 years after it was built. The second project is a solid cherry gate leg, drop leaf table. The top is constructed of a piece I received from my father, making Rick's efforts to create a piece that is a treasured family heirloom. His design, as shown on pictures Rick has available, display the unique leg design, the custom brass hinges designed and built for the gate leg mechanism, and outstanding finish work make this a piece that will be in our family for many years to come. A skilled craftsman what sets Rick apart is his exceptional design skill and ability to create projects that fit each client's needs and desires. If you want a unique piece built of exceptional quality I highly recommend Rick Williams of KCNC.”

“I found Linda on Etsy. I had an Obi that I wanted her to create accent pillows from for a large sectional sofa in our tv room. I sent her photos of the sofa, room, and Obi. She selected all of the coordinating fabrics on her own. I received the pillows in a timely manner and they are beautiful. We use the room almost every day and the pillows still look brand new. Linda was professional, kept me updated along the way, and a pleasure to work with. I will definitely utilize her services again!”

“I hired Byrne Custom Woodworking to build custom cabinets for six laboratory classrooms and 8 lecterns. The cabinets and lecterns arrived on time and perfectly measured to fit the spaces. The quality of workmanship was excellent and Byrne was highly responsive to our needs. This was a very good experience for the university.”
