About Alison Cariens
Alison Cariens is the Conservation Coordinator at the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. A major component of her position involves working closely with the Forbes Pigment Collection, assisting with new additions, cataloguing the collection, and managing access, media requests, and tours. Alison received her bachelor’s degree in Art History from the University of New Hampshire, with minors in Business Administration and Italian Studies. While her love of art and museums was apparent from a very young age, it was not until she began work with the Forbes Pigment Collection that she discovered a true passion for the building blocks of art: pigments and artists’ materials.
