  • Independent Art Historian & Craft Scholar, Writer & Editor, Curator & Collections Specialist at Samantha De Tillio
    Jan 2012 - Present · 14 yrs 6 mos

    I'm a seasoned arts professional with over a decade of experience in curatorial, collections management, and publishing. As a creative thinker I can conceptualize an exhibition or writing project, and with a detail-oriented mind I can facilitate the production of books, execute exhibitions or special projects, or skillfully oversee database information management. My byline can be found on numerous exhibition catalogues, Glass: The UrbanGlass Art Quarterly, Metalsmith, Art Jewelry Forum, Journal of Stained Glass, and Material Intelligence, among others. I would love to collaborate!
