We recently moved from California to Tampa, and…read moreduring the move one of our most cherished family paintings -- which has been in my family for over 35 years -- was accidentally damaged when something fell and tore the canvas. I was devastated and had no idea where to turn for help. Then I found Hitoshi Kimura of Art Conservation of Central Florida, and his work is truly outstanding. Not only did he repair the rip perfectly, but he also restored the frame, which had a missing corner -- he actually made a mold from one of the other corners and rebuilt it flawlessly!

I'm beyond grateful for the care, skill, and artistry that went into bringing this special painting back to life. Highly recommend!
