I am an art history MA graduate currently working for TASCHEN UK as the Retail Operations Coordinator. My role involves sales, administration, customer assistance, and client management. I have also attended a number of public events and collaborations as a brand ambassador.
In June 2011, I started my own art history and exhibitions blog - ArtMastered - in order to expand my knowledge of artworks and artistic groups, and to create my own online network of fellow art historians. Since then, this network has expanded to 40,000 international followers from all walks of life. ArtMastered now features reviews of the latest exhibitions in London; articles relating to current art news and my personal interests; and general images and text that encourage the universal enjoyment of art and its histories.
