Art Portfolio
During my undergraduate degree I was able develop my hand skills through developing a portfolio based in painting and drawing. Many of my paintings were close to life size and painted from both life and photos. I was introduced to various printmaking methods including intaglio and lithography.
Art & Conservation History Research
Throughout my studies in Art History, I was also able to research the history of paintings conservation and the relationship between art historical scholarship and conservation treatment. This culminated in my undergraduate thesis entitled Conservation of the Gross Clinic. It investigates the relationship between art conservation and its methods within a contemporaneous cultural context, using Thomas Eakins’ The Gross Clinic as a case study.
