Classically trained as a fine artist, Anita Intenzo graduated with honors from Moore College of Art in Philadelphia. Her portraits, landscapes, and still-life paintings hang in private collections throughout the United States.
Her fine arts training in painting and sculpture, along with her knowledge of restoration materials and love of history, led her to a new venture of restoring antique dolls. Bring your old dolls and Anita will determine their origin, age and value. She can also give you a written estimate for restoration.
Past Images by Anita has evolved into a business by which she is able to help preserve and restore family treasures so that their history will endure for future generations. She welcomes the chance to restore your past images.
