Preservation of historic trompe o’loiel motifs that were previously concealed by protective overlayment. This small arduous project was executed in late 2022 in conjunction with a community effort to restore the building to useable conditions for a future community wide cultural events space in the Downeast region. Historic materials and decorative painting methods were implemented by Colin with close consultation of master restoration artist Tone Castro.
