Geraldine van Heemstra

Born and raised in Holland, married to a Scotsman and living with their young family in

London.

Academic Qualifications:

1995 Postgraduate Diploma in the Conservation of Easel Paintings at the Courtauld Insitute

of Art, London University

1992 M.A. History of Art in Western Art and Architecture, University of Utrecht

Work Experience:

Geraldine has worked as a restorer in the Conservation departments of the National Gallery

in Washington, the Mauritshuis in The Hague, the Hamilton Kerr Institute in Whittlesford

(Cambridge) and the Royal Collection in Windsor.

Building on her experience and extensive knowledge of materials and techniques of the Old

Masters, Geraldine enjoys exploring the possibilities of working with various mediums and

methods such as watercolour, oils, etching and monoprinting.

Strongly drawn to nature as a starting point for all her work, she spends a lot of time in the

Scottish Isles and recently in Zeeland. The shifting of the weather patterns of light and shade

across the clouds, the sea and the land of these two seemingly different countries keep

inspiring her work.
