She is absolutely the best! She was professional, kind, listened to my questions, and gave very helpful, thoughtful, and practical advice for the care of the painting.

Fun framing suggestions, helped me create something beautiful that I will enjoy for years. 3rd project was a pencil drawing I did 20 years ago -- I'm not an artist, but it was pretty and valuable enough to keep for a long time. At the top of the sheet of lovely archival paper was a remnant of the glue from taking the page out of the tablet. This was a fun detail that added dimension. When I went to pick up the framed piece, the person said, "oh I cut off that glue at the top so it would look cleaner". I was shocked. I always appreciate a suggestion for improving something but a) if you are going to CUT OUT a part of a work you have been asked to frame ASK FIRST and b) I liked the original version pre-cut.

7 years ago my husband and I fell in love with and purchased a lovely raku sculpture while on vacation in Michigan. It was broken into 6 pieces on the flight home because the stewardess would not let us place it in the storage closet on board and it got flung into the hold. We were so upset we left the pieces in a box for a long time hoping one day to find someone who could restore it. Over the years, I looked online now and then and came up with nothing. A few weeks ago I happened upon Heritage Art Restoration's website and was so excited to see the sculpture repair example. I called Seyo and described my sculpture and he asked me to bring it in for him to look at. The minute he saw it, his eyes lit up and I could see that he loved his craft and was intrigued with this challenge. The sculpture was many different tones and textures as well as finishes. He said "Of course I can fix it. It will look like nothing happened to it; it will look new." We picked it up yesterday and were astounded by the results. Indeed, it looked brand new and you would never know that it was in pieces just a week ago. Seyo is a master at his art and is so versatile. He restores ceramic sculpture, oils, photos and porcelain. I can't wait to see how he lovingly restores my grandparents wedding photo. Truly a remarkable talent. Thank you Seyo for giving us back our "Lady with a Lantern." read more

Dealing with Seyo Cizmic was a totally unexpected pleasure. In shipping an extremely valuable, large, collector's quality oil painting across country, it became severly damaged and I was devestated. I searched for, but didn't expect to find, the kind of expertise that I presumed was required to at least make the painting presentable. At the first meeting, Seyo's prefessionalism convinced me that I had found the right person. His restoration work in fixing the specific damage and refreshing the balance of the painting and custom plaster frame was absolutely first rate. The painting now looks better than it has in years with no indication that anything was ever wrong. I was prepared to pay a significantly large amount for this restoration work but was pleasantly surprised at how fair the charges were for his artistry. He is a gentleman to deal with and an old world master. I will sing his praises loud and clear and remember his quality work every time I look at the painting on the wall. Thank you Seyo --------------- read more

Seyo is a modern day, old world master and renaissance man. He has repaired and restored several important museum quality paintings and their frames for me at very sensible prices. His advice on how best to display illuminated manuscripts was also invaluable. Do not trust your repairs and restorations to anyone but Seyo. He is the very best and a pleasure to work with, a true artist in his own right. Be sure to look over his portfolio when you visit his studio or website. Gary read more

This is the place to go for artwork repair! Seyo C. is extremely knowledgeable about his work and he gave me a very detailed description of what was required and a reasonable estimate, (which was exactly what he charged). My painting was repaired perfectly and no one would ever be able to tell. On top of his expertise, he is just an incredible man to talk to! He is classically trained and does a huge variety of repair. I would never take my art repairs anywhere else. read more

I feel very fortunate to have found Seyo on the web.
