35 years of art restoration experience in a multitude of art media. I primarily work with art collectors, art galleries, antique dealers, art dealers, appraisers, restoration companies, insurance companies, frame shops and anyone with damaged art they love.
As a small child in Germany, my family traveled to many of Europe's most famous cities. And as I’ve always loved painting, drawing and sculpting, my earliest inspirations were from the castles of Europe and later the wide open landscapes I found myself surrounded by here in the Southwest.
I come from an artistic and musical family, my mother was an art teacher/artist/photographer and my extended family includes musicians, painters, writers, a sculptor, photographer George Hoyningen-Huene of 30's Paris, the von Huene Workshop- a flute and recorder maker, a curator, and a gallery owner.
I have won many awards for my art in school and local shows including the N.M. State Fair, and awards at the Masterworks of N.M. for miniatures.
It's a real pleasure to see the joy on peoples faces when they see their treasured art restored to it's original beauty. I still paint, but I get just as much satisfaction restoring the art of others.
