I am a warranted Maltese conservator-restorer specialising in the treatment of easel paintings, wall paintings, and polychrome sculpture. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in 2003 and my Master’s degree in 2007 at the University of Malta, and I hold warrant number 002.
My work includes the conservation and restoration of artworks for the Maltese National Collection, local churches, and the private sector. In addition to treatment work, I focus on preventive conservation—applying scientific methods to assess risks and establish practical measures to protect artworks during display, storage, handling, and transport.

KURA stands for Konservazzjoni U Restawr ta' l-Arti (Conservation and Restoration of Artworks). In Maltese, the word kura also carries a double meaning: "taking care of" and "the cure"—a reflection of the care and scientific methodology required to preserve cultural heritage.
