Instructor

Cynthia Schwarz

Cynthia Schwarz is a painting conservator with over 20 years of experience working with museum collections. She started out as a painter (BFA, RISD), spent time making portraits and murals, and then shifted into conservation, earning her MS from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation. She now runs Take Care Conservation, a studio focused on the care and treatment of modern and contemporary artworks. Her work often deals with complex, hands-on treatments of paintings on canvas—so she’s seen just about everything that can go wrong (and how to fix it).
