Webinar presenter bios:

    Katie Sanderson is an Assistant Conservator of Photographs at
    The Metropolitan Museum of Art.  She earned her M.A. in Art
    History and C.A.S. in Conservation at the Institute of Fine
    Arts, New York University, where she is currently a member of
    the adjunct faculty. Prior to her current position, she held the
    Andrew W. Mellon Research Scholarship in Photograph Conservation
    at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and worked in labs at the
    Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Better Image, and New York
    Public Library.  Her current research involves measuring color
    change in photographs over time using a spectrophotometer and
    micro-fade tester.  The main goal of this work is to develop a
    better understanding of the effects of exhibition and climate
    conditions on photographic materials.

    Ariel O'Connor is currently an Objects Conservator at the
    Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
    Prior to Air and Space, Ms. O'Connor was an Assistant Objects
    Conservator at the Walters Art Museum, Assistant Objects
    Conservator and Samuel H. Kress Fellow at the Harvard Art
    Museums, and Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the Metropolitan Museum
    of Art.  Her research focuses on materials and technology in
    archaeological Asian art.  Her archaeological fieldwork includes
    seasons at the Aphrodisias Excavations, Mugello Valley/Poggio
    Colla Archaeological Project, and Gordion Excavations Project.
    She holds an MA and CAS in Art Conservation from Buffalo State
    College.

The ECPN webinar program seeks to provide resources for issues faced
by the conservation field, especially emerging conservators.
"Emerging conservators" are defined as those with 7 or fewer years
of experience (which includes schooling and pre-program).  Contact a
member of the ECPN Board for ideas on future webinar topics.
