Professional experience:
I have been building a strong reputation as a Conservator of Paintings for 12 years both within Australia and internationally.

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.
Since setting up my own studio practice in 2013, I have completed conservation projects for the Australian War Memorial (AWM) in Canberra, the NGV, the NGA, Museum Victoria, the Victorian Parliamentary Library, with David Stein & Co in Sydney, and in collaboration with Lin Spaabaek in Copenhagen, as well as local library and council
collections, regional galleries, auction houses and private clients.
