Personal References
An AMAZING and professional woman with impeccable credentials with the most intricate knowledge of art. She is the best art authenticator and appraiser there is. I have hired her several times over the past years and she is completely professional; can answer any question about your art. She actually RESEARCHES your piece(s), unlike so many other “appraisers”. I would recommend her anytime you have a piece of art that needs cleaning, restoration, an appraisal, or authentication. She has a staff that is dedicated to the art world. They really do “Bring You the Truth” whether it is good or bad. Honest operation. Refer anyone, anytime to her and her staff. –From J.P. Schmitz, Esq. Denver, CO
