Robert Gamblin founded Gamblin Conservation Colors
<URL:http://www.conservationcolors.com> in 2000.

The company makes color for conservators and restorers world wide to
use in the repair of damaged artwork. The colors are used by the
conservation departments in most of the major museums. The company
was the result of a 5-year research project led by Rene de la Rie,
Head of the Science Dept., National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.;
Mark Leonard, Head of Conservation, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los
Angeles California; and Jill Whitten, Whitten Proctor Conservation,
Houston Texas. Robert lives and shares a wonderful studio with his
wife Catherine Kumlin (Gamblin) in Portland Oregon.
