Olivia Stoddart

Conservator

After studying a 5 year MA in History of Art and Fine Art at Edinburgh University, I undertook my conservation training at the Courtauld Institute of Art graduating in 2019. During my studies I carried out internships at the National Trust and Victoria and Albert Museum. I have worked as a junior conservator at Stichting Restauratie Atelier Limburg (Maastrict, Netherlands) and also in notable private studios in the UK. Before joining SGS I was the Robert Gavron Conservation Fellow at the National Gallery, London.

Research interests include my post-graduate thesis focussing on a technical study of a ‘Hall of Fame’ group of Jacobean portraits from Knole House (National Trust). And more recently a study of Baldassare Peruzzi’s depiction of the Nativity from the Ulster Museum (NMNI) in Belfast.
