…more than a brush with art history
welcome to my website
I am an art historian, writer, critic and dealer specializing in Nineteenth and Twentieth-century British and European art with over twenty years of experience in rediscovering paintings and drawings by notable artists including Stanley Spencer, Christopher Nevinson, Sir John Lavery, David Hockney, Derwent Lees and Victor Pasmore.
I also manage artist estates, provide valuations for probate, assist auction houses on cataloguing art work, curate private exhibitions, and advise collectors on buying art for private and commercial collections.
Recent work has included cataloguing and valuing a collection of over 300 works of European art for a private client in Berlin, identifying a previously unknown painting by the Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck, authenticating several paintings by Walter Sickert and advising a client on works by the French artist Jacques-Emile Blanche.
I have contributed to various UK national and international media titles and have been featured in media including CNN, Today.com, MSNBC, Time Magazine, The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, The Times, the Independent and am well known on various social media through @ahistoryinart.
