Hello and Welcome!
​
I am Raquel, a multi-passionate person with an academic background in science (conservation and restoration) and a passion for education and communications. Throughout my career I have supported cultural and educational institutions worldwide in studying, preserving and promoting art and cultural heritage with a focus on translating complex topics into accessible information using various media and platforms.
I am originally from Portugal where I trained as an art conservator (MA), specializing in textiles. As I have moved around the world I have worked on major art collections in the various countries (PT-USA-CH). I am currently based in Norway where I continue to develop scholarly work and projects on object-based learning with cross-cultural and multi-disciplinary approaches. At the same time, I run my own small creative business BeanStalkStudio.
