Her topics cover the conservation and restoration of paintings, the materials and techniques of British portraiture, Stanhope Forbes and the Newlyn School and technical art history. Her Constable titles are always very popular and will change your view of the artist and his legacy forever! 'Fakes and Fortunes!' gives insight into Sarah's consultancy work, TV appearances and the exciting highs and crashing lows of Constable discovery (or not!).
“Exceedingly informative with great presentation”; "Unanimously outstanding...astounded at your depth of knowledge"; “The best Study Day I’ve ever attended!”; “Top of our list of recommendations for the Area Meeting”. Sarah's Day of Special Interest 'The Paintings Conservation Roadshow' (left) continues to be very popular with Societies, as do her other study days, due to her passion for her work, her clear presentation and her exuberant personality.
