About June
June Hayes, ISA AM, has been an accredited member of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA) since 1995. She specializes in Antiques and Residential Contents, and her previous career as an antiques dealer offers her a unique advantage in evaluating older items.
June is also a member of the International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR), which provides documentation on authenticity, ownership, and theft; defines legal and ethical issues concerning art; and supports art education for museum associations and other groups.
June has held offices in several professional organizations and served on numerous national and international committees, including the ISA Ethics Committee. Her company reflects her dedication to ethical business practices, and her staff upholds the highest personal and professional standards.
June hones her skills at professional conferences, art and antiques seminars, and online classes. Her studies keep her up to date on spotting fakes and reproductions, Internal Revenue Service regulations, forensic identification of artifacts, and the Uniform Standards of Personal Appraisal Practices regulations, an important requirement of the Appraisal Foundation.
In addition to her professional activities, June often speaks on textiles, estate jewelry, and antiques to collectors’ groups and civic organizations and leads round-table discussions on art and antiques. She also consults with private collectors to increase their knowledge.
Having lived in Europe, Central America, and Hawaii, June remains an avid traveler who seeks new opportunities to increase her professional knowledge. These informal studies range from learning about Art Nouveau at museums in Prague and Vienna to enriching her understanding of Texana at the knee of an elderly scholar.
June is one of only four ISA-accredited appraisers based in South Texas, and she frequently travels to other regions to conduct appraisals.
