My name is Elisabeth, though I also go by Lizzie. I've always had an interest in art, from drawing constantly as a child to visiting museums on school trips. Since then, I've gone on to study art history at the graduate level, with a general focus on "The Long Eighteenth Century" in France and Britain. I've worked in various roles in museums, including those within curatorial departments and publishing offices. I was lucky to spend a year after graduation traveling through Southeast Asia and Europe. I hope to continue working in museums and experiencing art around the world. I am also pursuing new opportunities in writing about the intersection of art history and travel.
