Memberships

Kristina has cultivated a lifelong passion for art, heritage, and conservation. Her professional conservation career began in 2001 with a traineeship under Ernst Lorch in Germany, where she specialised in the conservation of polychrome objects. After relocating to Australia, she expanded her expertise through work in prop-making for film and theatre, combining technical skill with creative practice.

Since joining ICS in 2021, she has contributed to the conservation of both objects and outdoor heritage. She possesses deep experience in the construction, restoration, and conservation of wooden objects, bronze and other metal sculptures, plastics, and is equally adept in both laboratory-based and on-site projects.

Her extensive experience reflects a commitment to preserving cultural heritage with technical precision and professional rigor.
