The team at ART restored an 1894 oil painting that was in my family since the 1950s. It cleaned beautifully and they helped me pick out a modern, but piece appropriate frame. I am so pleased! See before and after below.

Over the Moon! I have a painting that has been in my family for quite sometime and my grandparents left it to me. While wallpapering the living room I very carefully laid the painting down on the dining room table and moved the furniture in to proceed with the remodel. When it came time to move everything back there was a 14" tear in the canvas because my elderly cat had decided that the towel covering the painting would make a nice bed! Joe was so kind, knowledgeable and explained the entire restoration process. When I picked up the painting, I was fighting tears of joy. I couldn't find the tear, he had cleaned the original frame, preserved the old backing; the work exceeded all my expectations. Thank you Joe!

My mother was an artist and I really enjoy her paintings. I have one that she painted in 1967 or '68 (it is signed by not dated) that is my favorite. It is a fall landscape of a meadow on the ridge above Jesus Abbey in Taebaek, Gangwon Do, Korea. Off in the distance is Korea's East Sea and the city of Samcheok. I was a teenager when she painted it and loved to hike around those mountains. The painting had some water damage as well as flaking and cracking from age and was dirty. I took it to ART on Ledyard St., Hartford. Joe Uliase did the restoration work including cleaning and preserving. He did an excellent job. You cannot tell that it had been damaged. I really appreciate Cristine's Kern's folks. They are all professionals, very knowledgeable and inspire confidence. Both Joe and

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe & Christine. I had two drawings that my grandfather, a self taught artist and photographer, had done when he was between 25 and 30 years old - he was born in 1887. This made these drawings at least 100 years old. They had been framed at the time they were drawn and never removed from the original frame. I saw that they had some water damage and were starting to get very worn. I wanted to have them restored so that I could pass them on to my children, as my father had done to me. Although I love the fact that my grandfather had drawn them, one of the most important things about them was his signature at the bottom. I am happy to say that the restoration work done has made them even more special. I am so happy that my children were liste

I couldn’t be happier with the great experience and professional results I got from ART. They restored two of my son’s paintings, one with a canvas tear and the other water damaged. Joe and Cristine were responsive and timely and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!
