“Ask the Experts”
In 2009 I helped launch Utrecht’s “Ask the Experts” service for which I act as principal representative. This unique service offers free advice on safe and effective use of art materials. Ask the Experts gives artists and educators access to detailed, authoritative information about the products they use every day. Answers are thoroughly researched, based on manufacturer inquiries, conservation literature, modern and historical texts and my own practical experience in the studio. Submit your question today through the Utrecht website or use the form provided below.
The Resource Guide
I began writing for Utrecht Art Supplies in 2004, when I was asked by John Dowers, the company’s CEO at the time, to contribute tutorials, product information and images of my paintings for the first edition of the Resource Guide, Utrecht’s “big book” catalog. That year I also revived the company’s original literature written by Ralph Mayer and the company’s founders, selecting key articles and editing for newer materials and practices. Since 2004 I have contributed to every edition; some of the content I helped create is also available at Utrecht’s Learning Center.
