I have been a picture restorer since 1980, during these years I have worked on paintings of all kinds from wooden panels to watercolours. My customers include the London Guildhall, The City of London Livery Companies as well as the Army, churches and private collectors. I work at home in a peaceful, purpose built studio which I call `The Art House` where the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I am happy to give my professional opinion to anyone who may have some art work that needs attention. I work on the basis that conservation is more important than restoration and the methods used should be reversible and unobtrusive.
Restoration covers many different processes to rejuvenate and conserve artworks.
