Stephen P. Sweeting, ASA

Stephen P. Sweeting, ASA is a personal property appraiser and one of the principals at Appraisal Associates in Toronto, Canada. Appraisal Associates is a full service personal property valuation firm providing art and antiques appraisals and consulting services for cultural property and charitable donations, insurance coverage and loss-claim, market advisory, estate planning, litigation support, and other uses. Established by Stephen and his business partner Edith Yeomans, ASA in 1993, Appraisal Associates was one of the first personal property valuation firms in Canada to adopt the use of USPAP. Tireless advocates for the use of Generally Accepted Valuation Principles, Appraisal Associates has been influential in the growth of the profession and professional standards in Canada.

An Accredited Senior Appraiser with the American Society of Appraisers specializing in Fine Art, Stephen is an active member of his local chapter and serves as the District Director of the Eastern Canada chapter. Currently on the chapter's ad hoc committee dealing with Canada's shift to International Valuation Standards in 2011, Stephen and his ASA colleagues in Toronto are grappling with issues and changes that will affect all personal property appraisers in Canada.

Stephen is a prolific writer and has contributed articles to the Journal of Advanced Appraisal Studies, the ASA's Personal Property Journal, the Globe and Mail, Canadian Insurance, The Canadian Adjuster and a number of other Canadian and American publications. He has been quoted frequently on art market-related issues in the Globe and Mail, and has had many similarly themed letters to the editor published in the Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, and the Financial Post. Stephen also has been interviewed on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio One and the Aboriginal Radio's Arts Review.

Stephen's writing and research interests include cultural studies, Amerindian material culture, the interface of art and crime, aboriginal skin-and-frame watercraft, and the Canadian auction market. A great proponent of an integrated approach to both appraising and academic work,Stephen is a section editor of the nascent Journal of Integrated Studies --a new electronic academic journal to be published in the fall of 2009.

Future projects include a large-scale collaborative writing project to do with appraising, a sessional instructor's role in a Masters-level course at a Canadian university, and the completion of a final research project for a graduate-level degree. He is also interested in adapting grounded Theory research methods to the appraisal of personal property.
