BIO

I am responsible for the design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance of the exhibitions at The Fleming Museum of Art. I work closely with the Curator and Manager of Collections and Exhibitions to produce our exhibitions.

I began my museum career at Shelburne Museum and was there for 16 years; working my way up to Preparator. I found my "dream job" in that work, as it is diverse, creative, and fun. I enjoy problem solving and producing exhibitions that are accessible, educational, and beautiful for all of our visitors.

Area(s) of expertise

Exhibition Design, Fabrication, Museum Lighting, Mount Making, Framing, Art Handling, Universal Design
