Who We Are
Painting Conservation
Our Painting Lab has helped both individuals and organizations preserve their histories by caring for, preserving, and treating their precious works of art.
Our past work includes everything from fantastic works of art, pieces of historical importance, and beloved personal objects.
We have worked on materials and techniques, including:
- Traditional and contemporary
- Oils and acrylics
- Modern Materials
- On-site murals in public or private buildings
- Canvas and board
- Stage curtains or backdrops
In addition to the Nebraska State Historical Society collections, we have worked with many museums, university libraries, and private clients. Anyone wanting to discuss a project or get some artifact preservation advice is encouraged to contact us.
