My goal is to preserve our artistic history. Each painting I accept for restoration is treated with the utmost respect regardless of its monetary value. Whether the painting is a family heirloom or a valuable piece from a museum, each is handled as it were my own.

  • We respect the aesthetic, historic and spiritual significance and the physical integrity of the paintings entrusted to our care.

  • We apply the "principle of reversibility" in all treatments, avoiding the use of materials which cannot be undone if that should become desirable.

  • We assert the right in all circumstances to refuse any restoration or procedure which we believe is contrary to the proper treatment or preservation of the painting.

  • We have an informed respect for the cultural property, its unique character and significance, and the people or person who created it.

  • All restorations are done here. There is no “farming out” of any work.
