Hi Cynthia!
The compliments are not exaggerated. This site is very professional and well build.
I have been exploring
http://www.portraitartist.com and find it also very high class site. It seems that there are just a few artists outside of USA there. I wonder would it be any use for me as a Finnish artist to be in the gallery. Although I would be flattered to be among the artists of the Stroke of Genius.
In Finland the art market is much smaller than in US and the prices are not as high. That is why there are not too many portrait artists here.
