Art Conservation Undergraduate

Hello

Here's who I am & what I am about

California born and raised. 

 

      Now residing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

      Received a BA for Studio Art from University of California, Riverside, California, and a BA in Art Conservation from University of Delaware.

           I was fortunate enough to partake in a series of enriching internships, spanning the realms of ceramic, painting, paper, and national history ethnographic objects. Notably, the painting and paper internships unfolded at the prestigious Winterthur Museum, Garden, and Library.

        Working to help preserve culture heritage for future generations has been some of the most fulfilling work I have done. I look forward to more opportunities to work in art conservation. 

Always striving to find happiness is my motto.

Quirky Tidbit:

I enjoy morbid art historical factoids like how book covers used to use toxic copper (II) acetate triarsenite (Paris Green or Emerald Green) to give them that signature vibrant green.
