From working for a fashion designer as a dyer, learning how to mix pigments and hand-dye fabrics, to studying studio art at Temple University, to completing a degree in art history and classical studies at the University of Rhode Island, I had a good foundation for conservation.   At the university, I had the opportunity for an internship in the conservation department at the RISD Museum of Art in Providence.  I was hired by two private conservators to help them meet deadlines on projects and became interested in pursuing conservation as a career.

I moved to New Orleans upon graduation and immediately started doing restoration work at the New Orleans Conservation Guild.  There I learned gilding and frame restoration and was exposed to the incredible wealth of art in that city.

I eventually transitioned into the painting department and learned painting conservation.  I was displaced by Hurricane Katrina and came back to my home state of Pennsylvania to live and work in Philadelphia for the next four years.

In Philadelphia, I worked at Belmont Hills Conservation Studio, a consortium of conservators sharing space and projects.  As a subcontractor, I worked on projects for each of the conservators there in the fields of painting, paper, furniture, and objects conservation.

I moved to Nashville in 2010 and currently work on paintings, gilded frames and various painted and gilded objects.  My studio is located in Pegram.
