My services:

I have extensive experience and passion for caring and conserving works of art on paper. I conduct surveys to assess the condition of large & small collections and liaise with conservation mounters and framers. I also carry out condition checks on artworks before and after exhibitions. 


Common problems: 

There are a number of problems I am used to solving, including: 

● Effects of damp, humidity & mould. These cause foxing, staining & planar distortion

● Effects of strong daylight/UV penetration 

● Effects of poor mounting & framing, including acidic mounts, backboards & adhesives 

● Also physical damage from poor handling, storage &  shipment
