Describe your role and what you enjoy about working for Artbank:

My role at Artbank is to look after and help maintain the collection. This involves condition reporting artworks, making sure the collection store is always looking presentable, packaging, transporting and installing artworks for clients. Effectively it’s my job to work behind the scenes and provide quality assurance. I really enjoy how hands on and involved my role is in the handling of artworks and the problem solving that comes with the territory – I’m surrounded by an amazing cohort of artis’s works every day and have the privilege of interacting with the clients as we ‘unveil’ and install their chosen artworks.
