Landmarks Gallery has a fully staffed Restoration Department with a full-time professional on site.

Monica has a BFA in Art History and Painting. She apprenticed for art restoration and has continued to work here since 2000. Her work here has ranged from 18th century to 21st century art and documents.

Monica has also done several public restoration demonstrations and lectures including WI Turp n' Stein annual luncheon in 2004 where she was the guest speaker, the Atlantic City Antique show in 2006 where she was a guest, and the Fox Valley Antique show in 2007 where she was also a guest. Besides services here in the gallery she has also done on site work for museums, historical societies, hotels, collectors, and antique art dealers.
