Felise is an experienced conservator on the Objects and Outdoor Built Heritage team in Sydney.
Having initially trained as an architect, she brings a range of practical experience and vernacular materials knowledge from years of working across the heritage sector in the UK- namely at Historic Environment Scotland and the Churches Conservation Trust. Prior to joining ICS, her expertise in objects conservation was honed at large-scale cultural institutions by conducting condition assessments and treating museum collections and archival materials.
