Joe Abbrescia - Art Conservator & Restorer, Montana

Joe Abbrescia Jr, is an exceptionally talented Conservator of fine art paintings living and working in Kalispell, Montana. He grew up in that dramatic scenery of the American Rocky Mountains, habitat of all our nostalgia for the wild West untamed, in the daily presence of his father, an exceptional fine art painter, Joe Abbrescia Sr. Joe’s voice, speaking of his vocation, of Conservator of Fine Art, echoes what could be said too of his father’s work, passed on like a goblet of strong lusty red wine, from father to son, dense with the nostalgia of western wildlife and their habitat, and those people lucky enough to live in that part of the world… Echoing truly the call of the wild.. and the passion to preserve it’s memory for all of our futures…
