Langdon Art Conservation, LLC

Custom Art and Design

Fresh designs for your stationery or advertising needs, and custom drawing and painting in the media of your choice. Contact us to discuss your request.

Studio art

We use high quality materials so that your art will last as long as possible-- conservation starts from the beginning!

Suggested media: oil paints, acrylics, charcoal, pastels, pencil, pen and ink. Give us a challenge and request historical techniques such as gilding, egg tempera, and grisaille with oil glazing. Even perishable media are a go-- pumpkin carvings are a favorite.

See the images below, all artwork made by Katherine Langdon, for inspiration.
