I have held a passion for collections for over 40 years, starting as a child, influenced by my grandmothers practice of keeping family heirlooms, and for the last 25 years as a collection professional. In 2014 I identified an emerging need in the cultural sector for flexible, highly specialised curatorial services. Levoi Consulting: Managing Material Culture was born. As a freelance curator/collection manager, I am so fortunate to work with such an array of significant collections from costumes at The Australian Ballet to iconic impressionist paintings in regional galleries.
