Here's what customers are saying about Janice and her restoration work . . .


Initially, I was nervous about my five paintings because of their poor condition, age, and putting them in the hands of someone I did not know. Janice emailed me regularly on the progress she was making. She was very reassuring, and soon my nervousness turned to excitement. What a massive undertaking: removal of aged varnish, wax reline, repair of holes and rips, and major touch up. I am amazed at the outcome! The Madonna and child "glow" and I never realized my precious Angel appears to be crying. Janice, I will forever be grateful for your remarkable talent, tender care, and friendship.

"I just received the painting back. Thank you for a fantastic job. No one can tell so far where the rip was!"
(Kevin E. from West Virginia)


"We were so fortunate in finding Janice to do the cleaning and restoration of our art work. She was highly recommended by an art gallery in Torrance. Her work was that of a perfectionist. Beautifully cleaned, and restored. We were exceptionally happy with her work on all of our collection."
(Virginia from Torrance, California)


"The painting arrived today, the 27th, in great shape. Beautiful job!!!!"
(Jim from Michigan)


"When I acquired a painting from a deceased family member, for whom I cared very much about, I wanted to take very good care of it. The painting had suffered from both cigarette smoke as well as years of smoke from the old fireplace. I did a search of the internet and found Janice Kollar and contacted her with my problem. Her emails were friendly, helpful and very encouraging. After several contacts with her I felt at ease sending my prized painting to her studio for cleaning and restoration. She promptly took care of any problems and returned it safe and sound to me. Through our many correspondences I must say that in addition to caring for my painting she also took time to become a friend. I think you would like to talk to her too."
(Terry from North East Michigan)


"The painting just arrived. It looks great, especially considering the terrible condition the painting was in. I am very pleased and happy with her. You did an excellent packing job as well. If I have any more work I will certainly send it to you. Thank you again."

(...and later...) "I have the painting hanging in my Dining Room and she will be watching over our Thanksgiving dinner. I'm just as pleased now as when I received the painting back."
(Jim from Kentucky)


"Janice restored 11 of our early California paintings over the past year and her work was professional and versatile. Beyond cleaning, she repaired a canvas tear, removed problem varnish, relined a brittle canvas, stabilized loose paint, and touched up several flaked paint areas with a touch that made the paintings look great and were undetectable to the eye. She is knowledgeable in her assessment of needed work, reasonable in her charges, and turnaround times. Janice has been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to continuing to work with her."
