She then attended the Courtauld Institute of Art, receiving an MA in Early Sienese Painting in 2002 and a Diploma in the Conservation of Easel Paintings in 2005. Since 2005, she has been based at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, firstly as a Conservation Intern and since 2007 as a Research Associate (Conservator).

Lucy Wrapson's research interests centre on the technical study of medieval painting, especially English and Italian art of the Middle Ages and on Romano-Egyptian art.

Currently Lucy is working as the researcher on the 3 year Leverhulme funded project on East Anglian late medieval rood screens in conjunction with Spike Bucklow.
