“To those who already know me - thank you for your support!”
Kaspar moved to Chicago in 2010 to attend Columbia College where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. In addition to her studies, Kaspar gained practical experience in matting, framing, imaging, and installation while working at the Museum of Contemporary Photography and interning at the Art Institute of Chicago where she was hired after graduation.
In her extended capacity as a full-time employee at the Art Institute, her passions deepened and skills were refined, exhibiting artwork with mindful intension and working to preserve it for the future. Before launching into her freelance career in summer of 2018, Kaspar had established valuable connections and earned a reputation as a multi-disciplined professional in the arts. She continues to contract with local art institutions--such as the Art Institute of Chicago—and is thrilled to offer her services nation-wide.
Most of all, Kaspar is eternally grateful to her mentors for their time, patience, and wisdom.
She is a member of the American Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC), Chicago Museum Exhibitors Group (CMEG), Chicago Area Conservation Guild (CACG), and Association of Registrars and Collection Specialists (ARCS).
