Works on Paper was established when Carolyn Frisa relocated to Vermont from Boston in 2008. She has spent most of the last ten years conserving a wide range of artistic and historic works on paper. Previous projects include the conservation of a large collection of Lewis and Clark manuscript documents, Audubon’s Birds of America, prints by Neil Welliver, Matisse, and Gustave Baumann, a collection of General Custer’s papers, and an oversize painting by the contemporary artist Qin Feng. Carolyn has also conserved large collections of oversize maps and architectural drawings. Carolyn received an undergraduate degree in the history of art from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. She holds a masters degree in paper conservation from Camberwell College of Arts in London, England. After receiving her degree, she spent the following year working as an assistant paper conservator at the Tate Britain Museum in London.
