\"Book<\/a>

Book binding for a paper conservation course (Florence, Italy)<\/p><\/div>\n

Born and raised in Te Wai Pounamu, which translates \u201cwaters of greenstone\u201d or as the European colonists creatively<\/del> named it\u2026 the South Island of New Zealand (a.k.a. Aotearoa \u201cland of the long white cloud\u201d),\u00a0 I suppose I have always been a southerner of sorts. Admittedly, the last six years were spent living in New York City, cultivating a fair amount of cynicism typical of urbanites.<\/p>\n

In my chosen career, the apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree, with a well-known ceramic artist father and a gallery director mother.\u00a0 At university Art History was a no-brainer; my other major was Religious Studies, a result of growing up in a secular country intrigued by the religiosity of my American relatives, and the fanaticism that brought about 9\/11.\u00a0 After completing my B.A., I lived in London for a year, and then returned home to attend graduate school where I wrote my thesis, \u201cModernism\u2019s Impact on Religious Art and Architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

My latest preoccupation is folk art and outsider artists, so I am enjoying learning about local self-taught genius William Edmondson.<\/p>\n

Since earning a masters degree in library and information science at New York\u2019s Pratt Institute, my professional experience has been limited to traditional art librarianship (Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s library and Columbia University\u2019s Avery Library).\u00a0 During my studies at the Pratt Institute, however,\u00a0 I took several courses related specifically to emerging trends in digital humanities and the field of visual resources.\u00a0 Art librarianship and visual resources are no longer considered mutually exclusive, and in joining the HART\u2019s Visual Resources Center I am confident this will be demonstrated under the vision of our director Chris Strasbaugh. I feel quite fortunate to be working with such a supportive team, collaborating on such exciting projects as DIMLI and Scalar, and exposure to faculty research.\u00a0 Another wonderful perk of my new employment is Vanderbilt\u2019s many extracurricular engagements, especially gallery talks, visiting lecturers, film screenings, and perhaps the odd adventure through the Outdoor Recreation Center.<\/p>\n

As for the city itself, Nashville has charmed me with the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Country Music Hall of Fame, Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum of Art, vintage shopping, farmer\u2019s markets, cycling trails, lakes, the Belcourt Theatre, the \u201cBonut\u201d (google it), and hipster coffee to rival Portland, Oregon.\u00a0 Oh and I love the fireflies here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
