Thank you for visiting my digital portfolio
I’m Margaret Priest, a rising 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.
I volunteer in the Emerging Conservation Professionals Network of AIC as Outreach Co-Officer and Buffalo State University Liaison.
Right now, I’m a summer intern in the paintings conservation department at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, in Richmond, VA.
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 keeping up with my family, their dogs, and their donkeys.
