We recently had 3 different pictures and frames revamped and restored by Amber at GBAC. Amber's professional knowledge and expertise allowed her to assist our varied requirements for each picture. Together we even discovered a hidden 100-year-old lithograph, under a seascape! Amber was able to restore it and it's antique frame to its original glory and all within the assigned budget for the overall project. The experience was positive and we are very pleased with the updated end results.

Just writing to let you know how much we are enjoying the painting you restored for us.

After decades of neglect and poor storage the damage was extensive. There were two tears, several holes, and a layer of dirt and grime over the entire painting. With so much damage we doubted that anything could be done with it.

You and your staff have done a tremendous restoration! The painting is so bright and full light. The images are clear and sharp. It was a pleasure to work with you Amber, in bringing this painting back to life. We will enjoy it for many years to come. We will gladly recommend you to anyone who wishes to have their paintings restored.

I took a large, beautiful and valuable work of art to Georgian Bay Art Conservation after it had languished at another establishment for a year and a half. The restoration involved extensive testing and it wasn't a quick fix, which was explained from the start. Amber kept me apprised of what was happening on a periodic basis. She successfully resolved the issue - mould or acid leaching- and it is in like-new condition again with state-of-the-art backing and framing. I have no hesitation in recommending Amber's work. She is professional, dependable and fair in her costing.

Amber was instrumental in restoring and preserving a family tree that I inherited 22 years ago. It was a large 33 x 61 inch print with very elaborate and artistic drawings and German calligraphy.  Originally it was hand drawn by a German relative in 1970. When I received the framed print one third of it was illegible so it was hidden in a closet to prevent further fading.  When downsizing I decided to have the print restored. The conservation team at GBAC willingly took on the restoration of the oversized print. I was grateful for Amber’s extensive knowledge and expert advice on how to proceed with the project. She collaborated with me on every step of the project. Her strong research skills were instrumental in deciphering the WWII maps on the print and restoring the original calligraphy. The perfectionist in Amber produced a restored print that is equal to or superior to the quality of the original print. I will be forever grateful to Amber and her preservation team for their expert restoration of a family treasure.

Thank-you for working your magic on the Buddha statue. It is so beautiful. I made a Shrine with it at the Grey Roots Theater. All of the events were a wonderful success. Many thanks.
