Bio

Yadin offers a unique perspective based on over two decades as an art conservator followed by another dozen years in the business sector. She thrives on building relationships through various outreach initiatives within the arts and cultural heritage conservation field. A large part of her work is dedicated to improving meaningful connections, cultivating trust through various channels with equal care for both collections and the environment.

​

Her adventures started as a fifth generation tapestry weaver with ancestral roots in Aubusson, France. She received a BA in Art History with highest honors from the University of California at Berkeley and an MS from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation, specializing in textile conservation with a minor in preventive conservation. She offers conservation services, primarily on site, for both private collectors and institutions (check out past published treatments here)  As a Professional Associate of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC), she follows their Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice.  Her work in outreach while on the boards of the North American Textile Conservation Conference and the Western Association of Art Conservation led her to consulting and later working full time at Tru Vue, Inc., a manufacturer of glass and acrylic glazing specifically designed for fine art framing and display case fabrication. She later led development at the start up Conserv, an environmental monitoring platform dedicated to heritage preservation.

 

Her latest business-related project involved advising Otego, a technical textile company based out of France that developed Fireguard, a radiant heat protection cover specifically designed to protect art and cultural artifacts in the event of a fire. 

​

An advocate for reducing our impact on the environment and climate change, she is a member of both the American Institute for Conservation's Sustainability Committee and the United Kingdom's Institute for Conservation's Sustainability Group. Among her many activities in this realm, she offers courses on Carbon Literacy® based on frameworks developed by the Carbon Literacy Project.
