Thank you for visiting my digital portfolio
I’m Margaret Priest, a second year M.A./M.S. candidate in the Conservation of Art and Cultural Heritage / Conservation Science and Imaging in the Patricia H. and Robert E. Garman Art Conservation Department at Buffalo State University.
While specializing in paintings, I’m currently pursuing research which evaluates the efficacy and ethics of select tools used in conservation.
I volunteer in the Emerging Conservation Professionals Network of AIC as Outreach Co-Officer and Buffalo State University Liaison.
I am a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina Asheville, where I earned a B.A. in Art History with minors in Studio Art and Chemistry. During my undergraduate studies, I was a collections intern at the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, an intern at a private paintings conservation studio, and a teaching assistant in both organic and inorganic chemistry.
Outside of conservation, I enjoy playing games and keeping up with my family, their dogs, and their donkeys!
