Over a decade ago, my mother's home sustained extensive water damage from a burst pipe in their upstairs bathroom. They were away on vacation and water ran down the walls, ruining many priceless portraits of loved family members. Although I had never restored images before, I had to give it a try. I found I was able to masterfully restore many of the portraits to their former glory through blending and creating a painterly-like technique with multiple layers. 

Portrait Restoration commissions are offered during my off-season in late November - March. Commissions will open for quotes in late October and close when full. Portraits must meet minimum size, recognizance, and artistic qualities to qualify for restoration. Your quote will be based on the level of restoration required and the size of the portrait. A high resolution digital image will be included in the restoration and options for prints and wall art are available. Please inquire for more information.
