Dr. Eowyn Kerr-Di Carlo attended a 3-day Training Program on the Scientific Methods for Art Examination in Italy this summer, hosted by the Cultural Heritage Science Open Source program. During her time there, she analyzed a Devotional Mexican painting on tin depicting the Virgin Mary standing with the Christ Child, attended by angels and cherubs in a celestial setting, executed in the popular retablo tradition of central Mexico.

"Eowyn oversees and teaches the undergraduate degree program in Museum Conservation at New Mexico State University. As part of research into the NMSU’s collection of Mexican Retablos, she is developing skills in technical analysis and imaging techniques to establish a protocol for the examination and materials study of the University’s paintings."
