The Barberini Tapestries

When I am not in the studio, I am the art conservator 

at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art 

on the University of Oregon Campus.

Last year at the museum, we installed the Barberini Tapestries. 

During the course of my own studies I spent some time in Italy 

right after the death of my father, John. There I learned about conservation, 

art as a dispute resolution tool and how to mend a broken heart.

I often think about my time there and hope to return.

Recently, I was able to meet up with some local artists and 

discuss the experience our prep team had and how 

wonderful it was to work with the conservators from 

The Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
