I had the pleasure to restore the murals in the legendary Dunbar Hotel in Los Angeles. Developer Tom Safron was responsible for the landmark restoration of this historic African-American property. This was Council Member Jan Perry's final project in District 9 as she left office with great pride, knowing this landmark building will live on in perpetuity. The murals we restored had to be stripped of many top layers of overpaint. It allowed us to discover the original image and colourfully revive it by inpainting.
