Brasil
Jeff’s client purchased this Brasil sculpture from the Sergio Bustamante Gallery in Puerto Vallarta. When he returned home, the sculpture was damaged and broken into many pieces. Thankfully, a representative from the Sergio Bustamante Gallery recommended Jeff to make the repairs. Jeff’s client was “completely satisfied” with the restoration results!
