 My name is Ashley Stanford and I am a third-year graduate fellow at the Winchester University Delaware program at Art Conservation. I got into the field interested in the field while I was in undergrad college and I was really looking for careers that blend my interest in art history and artists and photography and working in the darkroom and found out about art conservation. This was a perfect blend of all those interests and what still keeps me in the field and interested is opportunities like this for lifetime learning and connecting with peers and just continuing learning about photographic processes and artists and working with artists and curators and other conservators.
