Hello
My name is Evangelia Kyriazi and I come from Greece, and particulary Lesvos, the 3rd biggest greek island, located on the north-eastern Aegean Sea.

I studied Conservation and Restoration in the University of Lincoln, England, and since 2006 I have been working as the head conservator in the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest (www.lesvosmuseum.gr). Before working here, I did placements in the Benaki Museum in Athens-Greece, the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens-Greece, the Museo Egizio (Museum of Egyptian Antiquities) in Turin-Italy and the Teriade Museum-Library (museum with original prints of the Verve editions of publisher Teriade, with printings of Matisse, Picasso, etc). I have attended seminars on the use of lasers in the cleaning of works of art, and seminars on the restoration of ancient books. In 2007 I have taught conservation of fossils in the vocational training centre of the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest. My first paper will be presented in the 2008 IIC Congress in London in September 2008.

I speak greek, english, italian and german. My hobbies include acting (I am a member in an amateur theatre group), mountain-bike, in-line skating and enduro riding (I ride a CRE 250X)
