Now skilled in using Vernon CMS, object handling, cataloguing and up to date with collections management and procedures. Assisted in an important collections review that the museum is embarking on and have been praised for my efficiency, attention to detail and managed to surpass targets that had been set out.

Modules included: Managing Art Collections, Becoming Expert, Locating the Art Institution and a Research module in which I explored the representation of Barbara Hepworth in publications and museums. A practical element of the course was to plan and curate an exhibition working with five local artists at a public gallery space.

I achieved a first in my dissertation, "Barbara Hepworth: Festival of Britain and the artist in Society" and I studied various modules covering all aspects of the History of Art including Renaissance Italy, Gothic architecture, Post-War Modernism, the architecture of Oxford and studied the Old Masters.
