About the Owner

I don't just sell or restore objects; I understand them as a creator and a connoisseur.

My lifelong, multi-disciplinary art practice gives me an intimate understanding of materials and artistic intent. My 12 years as a collector show that I know what makes a piece special, valuable, and worth saving. Happiest Kid Finds offers the discerning eye of a lifelong artist and collector to help you discover, preserve, and restore pieces of lasting beauty and historical significance.

I bridge the gap between a cherished (but damaged) item and its former glory.

My 30 years of industry experience combined with my artistic skill make me a unique "doctor" for art and objects. I don't just apply a process; I creatively solve the puzzle of each piece's preservation.  Applying an artist's touch and decades of expertise to the sensitive preservation of your most valued art, photos, and heirlooms.

Happiest Kid Finds is a home for objects with a story, and I help clients become part of that story. My collection is built on aesthetic, historical, and social relevance. My restoration work ensures those stories aren't lost combined with my retail experience means that I connect these pieces with the right people, whether for sale or for care.
