Although Tiina was not able to help with my particular project (the particualr type of damage that had occurred with my print was not repairable), she spent a significant amount of time with me not only educating me about the defect and why it wasn't repairable, but she also spent time with me on trying to determine how I might be able to replace my print, even helping me with some online research for it. She did all this after it was clear that I would not be able to hire her. She gets a 5 star from me for having top-notch customer service... if I ever have a restoration project, I'll definitely be calling her! Thanks very much for your help. :-) read more

Tiina worked miracles on a complex wood sculpture which had started to delaminate. Personable, fast and reasonably priced, I'm delighted to give her my highest recommendation. read more

I had some important larger Tang and Han dynasty pottery that was terribly broken in a move. I chose Arizona Art Restoration and was delighted with the result. I had lost hope as they were crushed to small fragments and powder. I was so pleasantly surprised when I came to pick them up. I can not recommend Tina highly enough. She is not only supremely gifted in her restoration skills but she delivered on time and with a very reasonable fee. Thank you, Tina for bringing life back to the shards! You are absolutely the best.

Wow!! My painting turned out great! There was a hole in it, I thought there was no hope... now you can barley even see where the hole was. She completed it in a reasonable time and for a reasonable price. If I ever need any other paintings fix it I will for sure come back! read more

I took a beloved painting that had a chip right in the middle. It was repaired beautifully, cleaned and varnished. It was repaired so that you cannot even tell where it was damaged - also cleaned so it looks brighter. So happy!! read more

Just the highest quality and she is very easy to work with. Could have chatted with her for hours!

I had an old folk art oil painting I dearly loved. Drug it all over the US when I moved, then moved one mile and poked a huge hole in it. I was heartbroken. Arizona Art Restoration to the rescue! For a mere $60 she made it look fantastic! Fixed the hole, cleaned it up a bit and fixed another area where someone had tried to clean it and pulled off paint. She is awesome! read more

Excellent work. By far the best painting Restoration/repair I've ever seen. Fair pricing and prompt completion

Very fair price, wonderful to talk to, incredibly knowledgeable, and painstakingly meticulous work. Truly impressive art restoration. I'll spare you my search details, but I found Tiina after visiting pretty much every art restorer in the valley for a favorite 1880's painting of mine. Tiina easily stood out; she was personable, professional, had numerous other antique works in her studio, easygoing and straightforward. I was on a budget, and am VERY picky... she did a wonderful job, went out of her way to ensure it was exactly what I wanted. Plus, she charged me a very fair price (I actually went in expecting more). Since then, Tiina has done, oh, at least 15 painting restorations for me, late 1700's to ~1940s? I have lost count. Every new addition goes to Tiina's house as soon as it arrives, just for a look. Sometimes she says "oh, it will be fine" and other times, she recommends restoration. The end result - I am ALWAYS beyond satisfied. Tiina has inpainted small issues, impainted major losses, cleaned, relined, patched, pressed, addressed water damage, stabilized, and (our personal favorite) re-repaired all sorts of prior restorations - always fun, because you never know what they have actually done or what is under it! I would definitely call Tiina a talented artist in her own right... impressively so, in fact. One thing I love - whether my painting is a tattered $20 garage sale find or a $3000 steal from Christie's, she pays equally high attention to it. In fact, in my opinion, some of her most impresive work was bringing that poor $20 painting back to life. Overall, Tiina is an incredible restorer, charges fairly, and is just a wonderful person. read more

Arizona Art Restoration helped restore a $3000 painting we found at auction. There was water damage on the back, it had a tear, and also needed to be re-stretched. Tina did an amazing job cleaning up the painting and repairing the tear - you can't even tell where it was without looking at the back of the canvas. Great work, very reasonable prices, highly recommend. read more

I inherited a beautiful 19th century painting from my grandmother, who was an antique dealer, and had an eye for beautiful things. When we moved across country, I decided to put the painting in the back of my car with nothing else around it so not to damage it. It worked great until we took it out and a helper poked a small hole in the canvas. After living with the painting for a couple of years, and trying to find someone that could restore it, a friend near Phoenix told me about Tina. I was driving from Colorado to the Phoenix area in the upcoming months and called her to set up an appt. OMG!!! This is an amazing talent! Tina not only repaired the canvas but cleaned the painting and restored the backing of the canvas. She also restored/cleaned the gold leafed antique frame. Her work is impeccable and my painting is now "museum quality". It is worth any wait if she is busy!!! She is attention to every little detail. Best kept secret... read more

I am so pleased with the recent restoration/conservation of my prized Stephen Hubbell western painting. It had two small punctures and Tina was able to repair the canvas in such a way that it isn't noticeable at all. Her skill and passion for the job show not only in the care she takes with each canvas, but also with the manner in which she treats her customers. Tina, thank you for giving me back my beautiful painting and if I ever need anymore repairs, you will be the only one I call. read more

When my mother died, I inherited an oil painting which had been displayed in her living room for years. Since it had a great deal of sentimental value to me, I was not happy when it was almost destroyed by UPS during shipping to my home. Despite the large hole ripped in the canvas, Tina was able to restore it beautifully. It is now impossible to see where the defect had been. Thanks so much for your amazing talent and skill! My mother would be so pleased. Jane . read more

The painting is by Robert Strong Woodward, 1926, "My Winter Shelf". I appreciate it much more now after having it back on the wall for a couple of months. It's like new. Lots more detail after Tina did her expert work. This painting is a link to my childhood that makes it important to me for some reason. God only knows. Thank you Tina. read more

We found a large 36x48 original painting (acrylic on canvas) at a second-hand store. We got a great deal on it due to a 1.5" rip in the canvas. We figured we could repair it ourselves "good enough" (since we got it for such a good price). The supplies to repair it were ~$30 and the task seemed a little out of our league. After reading other favorable reviews about Arizona Art Restoration, we took it to Tiina. Her repair was $110 and she was able to turn it around in a week, although we were in no rush. The result is fantastic. The rip is completely sealed and she even stitch-painted the seam so the repair is nearly invisible. The painting is prominently displayed in our home and we challenge people to find the repair. We are happy to recommend Arizona Art Restoration for a phenomenal repair job and excellent service! And we're able to keep our eyes open for "scratch and dent" original art that can be restored for a great price! read more
