CONSULTANCY

Development and Maintenance of Private Collections
I work with individuals and institutions to develop, refine and maintain their collections on a contractual or ad hoc basis. Emphasis is placed on encouraging clients to continue with routine work between visits.
Evaluations
Assessment of individual trees or entire collections for future quality potential. Entire collections or individual specimens valued for insurance, sales, asset calculation or other purposes.
Acquisitions and Sales
I can search for specimen bonsai of a particular style or species and broker the purchase to ensure clients gain the best value. Similarly, I can broker the sale of specimen bonsai from clients' collections.

 

EDITORIAL SERVICES

Original Works
I have written seven books and countless magazine articles on all aspects of bonsai - aesthetic, practical and horticultural. I have a number of articles prepared for publication and two concepts for books that are ready to be completed. Additionally, I accept reasonable commissions from publishers in most sectors.
Peer Reviews and Contributions
Confidential peer reviews of other authors' texts and illustrations. Contributions on bonsai to non-bonsai publications, and forewords to bonsai publications.
