As the floodwaters from the recent storms recede, homeowners and businesses are faced with the task of dealing with water-damaged items.

When it comes to artwork, waterlogged items can often be salvaged if one acts quickly to mitigate the damage.

The first thing to be done is to get the artwork out into the open air to dry.  Paper and canvas art must be dried as soon as possible before mold and fungus can take hold.  The artwork should be removed from the frame and either hung out to dry or placed on a rack.  This gets the artwork away from any waterlogged framing materials and exposes as much of it as possible to the air.  Using heat to accelerate the drying process is generally not recommended.

We encourage you to bring us your water-damaged artwork for our expert advice and assistance.  We will un-frame and examine your artwork.  Oftentimes all that is needed is drying, flattening, and re-framing.  This is also a good opportunity to update your mats and backer boards with modern conservation-grade materials.  For items that are damaged beyond our ability to recover, we have a paper conservator on call who can suggest possible treatments to restore the work.

Frames that have been water-soaked can sometimes be salvaged as well.  Metal frames usually fare the best; these can usually be cleaned up and reassembled. Solid wood frames can often be cleaned up and/or refinished.  Many ornate frames, on the other hand, are made with details that are molded out of materials that are very susceptible to water and that crumble off when dry.  We can advise you as to whether a frame is worth salvaging or whether replacement is more economical.

Come on down!  We’re happy to help!

Join us Saturday, March 27 for our Spring Sidewalk Sale!  We will be featuring our entire inventory of ready-made frames in sizes from 5×7 to 18×24!  These lovely frames are made from the same high-quality mouldings as our custom frames, but at a fraction of the cost!  All ready-made frames include regular picture glass and acid-free foamcore backing.  Add a standard-sized mat from our clearance bin and you can frame that photo, letter, certificate, or art at an excellent price!

Noble Woman, by Adrienne Dejoie

I don’t need to tell you about the recent devastating earthquake and subsequent humanitarian crisis in Haiti.  A poor nation with little infrastructure in even the best of times, large portions of Haiti’s southern cities now lay in ruins.

We have a small personal connection to this situation.  My mother-in-law, artist Adrienne Dejoie, grew up in Petion-Ville, near Port-Au-Prince.  She is living in the States now, but she still has extended family in that area.  We have no news of them as yet, but we pray for their health and well-being.

In support of the desperately-needed relief efforts in Haiti, we are holding a sale of Haitian artwork.  This sale includes original works by Adrienne Dejoie and her daughter Tamara Gurevitz, along with works by Daniel Orleus and Elzire Malebranche.  Prices for original works start at $200, and prints of Dejoie’s signature painting Noble Woman start at $20.  Proceeds from the sale will be donated to Doctors Without Borders and Partners In Health to support their ongoing work in Haiti.  Both of these fine organizations were present in Haiti at the time of the earthquake, and both are doing all they can to assist survivors.

Our Haitian collection may be seen during our regular store hours or by appointment.  We are open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday 10-6, Thursdays noon-8.  For information or to make an appointment call 508-720-0310.
