Still-life painting in acrylic on a masonite board, stored on a screened in porch for over a decade, accumulated significant surface grime and embedded dirt within its masterful impasto, required surface cleaning with citrate solution in agarose gel applied  while still in a fluid state

​

I assisted WUDPAC student Diana Hartman 

in carrying out treatment procedures that

she developed with the assistance of

conservator Richard Wolbers.

​

For a thorough description of the 

treatments I performed on this painting,
