Repair Work and Custom Bases for sculpture in Ivory, Jade, Baleen and soapstone

Soapstone Caribou with Metal Antlers I designed and Built 

Although I am an artist and create my own work, I am also passionate about repair work that I complete for clients.  It's an honour  to handle these pieces.  The research is challenging and interesting.

I meticulously repair each piece to the specifications requested by my clients.  I  also custom design bases in a variety of materials, such as plexiglass and metal to enhance the sculptures and give them stability.

Here are some examples of recent sculptures I have had the pleasure to either repair and add bases to or just add bases.

Sketchbook Project 2011 - my book and my Daughter's book

I just sent in my daughter, Kierra's and my sketchbook yesterday.  It was an interesting project to be involved in and hard to believe that we are part of 28000 artists submitting sketchbooks to the Art House Co-oop in Brooklyn New York.

This is our first time being part of the project.   My sketchbook topic was "In Flight" and Kierra's was "Happy Thoughts".   It's open to anyone, and you can find out more about it at:
