Where Art and History Meet

Images often speak louder than words—echoing through generations. Creating a work of art from an old photograph requires expertise, patience, and vision. The result is a contemporary portrait that preserves the charm and nostalgia of the original while giving it a fresh, artistic life.

Some photographs benefit from a simple restoration, while others come alive when reimagined through painterly techniques. Painted restorations blend the precision of restoration with the soul of fine art. Using both digital and physical brushstrokes, I carefully paint over time-worn photographs, gently reviving the features, tones, and emotions once captured by the camera.

Other images require a higher level of expertise. For instance, in the image to the right, the client requested the female subject be alone in the final edit.   Not only did I have to remove the gentleman and baby, I had to meticulously recreate the car. See the image below.
