In our latest "Meet the Appraiser" video, we sit down with fine art, stained glass, and insurance expert Leiza McKenna of Chase Art Advisory & Valuation. Leiza is an Accredited Member of the Appraisers Association of America with deep expertise in stained glass, Christian art, and religious art and sacred objects across many different denominations and faiths. She is also a specialist in appraising African-American, African Contemporary Art, and 19th and 20th century American Art.
Patrick and Sarah chat with Leiza about her work as an insurance professional for an insurance company that specializes in coverage of religious buildings and their associated valuable personal property such as stained glass, Torahs, pipe organs, church silver, paintings, and other significant sacred items. In the discussion Leiza shares important tips for churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, and other religious organizations so they can better assess their insurance needs and make sure precious items are well protected.
