Expert material use and archival repair of paintings and textiles (all paint styles including oil, acrylic, watercolor, encaustic, and mixed media), works on paper and fiber including fabric, pulp, and natural barks, sculpture in wood, metal, fiberglass resin, clay, wax, and most synthetic materials, and display of historical costumes, sewing repairs, steaming, proper care and management.

My experience repairing models for American and international museums, has tested and approved my extensive knowledge of repairing objects and artifacts with archival standards.

I repair works of art using the same methods in which they were originally produced with little or no sign of restoration.

Recent repaired pieces include:

a seamless repair of a broken, original Greek Amphora vase of black clay,

a Frederic Remington “Bronco Buster” sculpture broken at the horse’s ankles, repaired with titanium armature,

encaustic paintings cracked from sudden temperature changes in Washington, D.C. and Dallas, TX,

Replacing replicas of plants, animals, and minerals, high-end repair of jewelry hardware and mounts.

I paint in “trump l’oiel” style, making synthetic castings in plastic and resin materials look like natural animals or materials.

Costume and jewelry repair for display in national museums.
