Dear All,
We are about to refurbish our house and have a fresco of approx 3 foot by 10 foot that was painted by Charlotte Lawrenson in 1927.Quite hard to find much about her but a neighbour indicates that she was a local artist associated with the Bloomsbury group. Unfortunately we have only bought the house 18 months ago and the previous occupants had let a leak in the roof run down the fresco and it is consequently damaged and the plaster work cracked.
We would like to just repair/restore it rather than overpaint.
Have looked on the net to try and find someone but as yet can not locate anyone- can anyone advise?
Regards,
Mike

Contact Nathan Zakheim - fresco conservator/restorer

he is based in Los Angeles, but would be able to advise/refer.
