​

Elle (they/them) is a Baltimore-based objects conservator. They are currently the post-graduate fellow at the Walters Art Museum.

​

Prior to pursuing conservation, Elle was an avid printmaker and installation artist. This body of work, produced from 2015 to 2020, explored pattern, color, and organic forms. More recently, their goal has been expanding knowledge on art making techniques such as wheel throwing ceramics, sand casting metals, and glass blowing. Knowledge on how art objects are made helps inform how Elle understands and conserves them. 

 

Elle received a M.S. in art conservation from the Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation in 2023 and a B.A. in studio art and chemistry from Wellesley College in 2017.
