Conservation and Restoration of Easel paintings
My practice is based in West Cornwall and provides conservation and restoration of easel paintings from the 16th century to contemporary works. I have a particular interest in 19th and 20th century painting, particularly Newlyn School and modern British painting.
In addition to carrying out conservation treatments I also provide condition surveys for collections and condition checking for exhibitions.
My clients include local museums and public collections as well as private owners and collectors including The National Trust, Tate St Ives and The Box, Plymouth.
