I am a highly-trained art conservator with experience at 12 different museums and collections, and have worked with some of the top conservators in the field. I also understand the practical limitations many museums and private collectors face when trying to “do the right thing” for their collections. While I have completed internships, a post-graduate fellowship, an Advanced Certificate in Art Conservation and a corresponding Master’s Degree in Art History, my education is never complete. I love learning and exploring.
