Expert Profile: Tom Riddolls M.A.C.

Expertise: As a conservator my focus is on the preservation/care of art objects as opposed to their value. I may assist in the identification of materials used in art making and some of the techniques in traditional art production. Please do not ask me about non-traditional medias such as computer software used to create "modern art". My three areas of specialty are: -European painting and sculpture (1600-1800) -The artifacts and documents of United Empire Loyalist (1770-1850) -Classic Fishing tackle (1850-1960) anything outside these areas may receive vague answers that merely point you in a fruitful direction.

Experience in the area
I am a practising conservator and curator

Education/Credentials
I have a Master's degree in Art Conservation

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I am always looking for technical information on classic tackle.
