Artist Statement

As the chair doctor, I am able to uncover the hidden potential beneath the worn exterior of antique or mid-century chairs restoring them to their former glory, to suit the interiors of 21st Century living spaces. I understand each chair is unique and am able to pick out statement fabric, to perfectly suit the character and history of each piece. I use modern and traditional upholstery methods in the restorative process.
