Helen Gill BCA, DipML, GCertACS, MA (Cultural Material Conservation)
PMAICCM - Accredited Professional member of the AICCM
Professional experience:
I have been building a strong reputation as a Conservator of Paintings for over a decade both within Australia and internationally. Since completing a Master of Arts (Cultural Materials Conservation) at the University of Melbourne, I have gained broad professional experience working in large cultural institutions within Australia including the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), where I was an H.D.T Williamson Fellow for two years, Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art (QAG/GOMA) in Brisbane, and the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation (CCMC) at the University of Melbourne.
In 2008-2009 I undertook an internship at the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) and have since regularly returned to Denmark to undertake conservation projects.
Through my Melbourne based studio, established in 2013, I service the collections of private clients, local councils, auction houses, regional galleries such as Bendigo Art Gallery, and larger collection institutions such as the State Library Victoria, Museum Victoria, and the Monash University Museum of Art. I regularly collaborate on large and diverse conservation projects with colleagues in Australia and with Lin Spaabaek in Copenhagen,Denmark.
