Jason Foster
A native of Shreveport, LA, Jason has brokerage connections throughout the United States to assist with the buying and selling of fine art. His knowledge and network help to ensure his clients needs are met with expertise, confidentiality, and trust.
Jason also possesses expertise in a variety of fields that assist his work as our lead appraiser. As a recipient of MA, MDiv, MTh (Oxford University) and PhD (Durham University) degrees, Jason has had the opportunity to study a variety of antiquities, iconography, and manuscripts across England, Greece, Italy, and the United States. While his specialty is religious artwork, Jason also has a particular interest in artists from the Bayou and the Deep South. He also has extensive work experience in the financial services industry, where he worked for Ernst & Young, LLP, and New York Life.
This diversity of Jason’s expertise enables him to approach the appraisal process with the competency to appraise art and to understand the various estate, insurance, and or tax implications resulting from his work. He is certified by the International Society of Appraisers (ISA) and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and is a member of the North Texas Chapter of the ISA.
Jason has been married to his wife Ashley for 28 years, and together they have six daughters.
Nasi Kombos
Thanasis Kombos is a Texan native who has always appreciated the preservation of the valuable and unique. An Eastern Orthodox parish priest, Thanasis has nine years of higher education (one undergraduate and two masters degrees) and for many years worked at his mother’s (Kate Kombos, ISA Accredited Member) home consignment shop where he learned trade in personal property.
More recently, and again following his mother’s footsteps, Thanasis chose to pursue personal property appraising. Working under the tutelage of his mother for the last two years, Thanasis has gained practical and hands-on appraising experience, including client consultation, appraising, report production, along with other related services.
