My background is in fine arts and historic preservation, and I have also worked in both cemetery conservation and general construction.  I created Hestia in 2017 so that I could explore all of these interests. I am dedicated to doing lasting, careful work and having quality relationships with my clients. I am passionate about research and writing. I have experience doing work in historic districts, and have gained a lot of knowledge about New Orleans and southern Louisiana material history in general. I specialize in plaster and masonry restoration, research and documentation, as well as painting and finishes.  For other specialized projects, I can partner with other professionals, or do my best to refer you to someone reputable. I'm always interested in new projects, and provide free estimates.
