SCULPTURE RESTORATIONS IN LOS ANGELES
My wife and I commissioned an outdoor mahogany sculpture for Pilgrim School in Los Angeles, which was completed and installed in September 2002. The work consists of five larger-than-life figures of children and a dog which are vividly painted in elaborate detail. Since 2004 I have utilized Joey Wester’s services to repaint the figures as needed because of children scuffing them up while playing on them and deterioration from smog, heat/cold, wetness /dryness, and expansion/contraction of the wood caused by changes in the weather.
Joey has been wonderful to work with and has a remarkable ability to recapture the technique and colors used by the original artist and to restore the figures to the look and feel they had when they were first installed. I will continue to use Joey to restore the sculpture for as long as I live and expect my son to continue to utilize her services after I am gone. I highly recommend her to others.

The painting had an area that had chipped off the canvas. A repair was done to fill the hole, color match and technique match for restoration.

Eniter frame was in bad shape, crumbing and needed restoration. After careful sanding, preping and color/technique matching it was as good as new.
