Meet Nellie

Headshot of Nellie. She is a white female, wearing a striped short-sleeved shirt with a red top and red hair scarf. The background is black.

Why I Chose Conservation

For me, the reason I chose conservation was because of my fascination with historical objects and how they help to create a visual story for the general public and the past as well as the skill taken to create some historical objects.

Career Aspiration

My career aspiration is to work in the decorative arts sector working on painted surfaces as well as gilded objects, for example, gilded frames.  

Best University Experience

My best Uni experience is working on one of my 3rd year objects, the 1850s gilded frame. This frame taught me new techniques and challenged me.
