As a practicing conservator and researcher, I have published various articles and book chapters.
​​
Most recently, I published some of the results of my PhD research at a conference in Olso:
​
Nunn, Catherine 2024 'Material practice in Morocco: Hilda Rix Nicholas' paintings and drawings in Tangier' in Bridging the Gap : Synergies between Art History and Conservation, Edited by Birgitte Sauge, Thierry Ford, Tine Frøysaker and Klaas Jan van den Berg. Archetype, London, 2024, pp. 259-260.
​
I also contributed conservation essays to several exhibition catalogues, such as:
​
Hilda Rix Nicholas, 28 October - 25 November 2023' at Lauraine Diggins Fine Art, North Caulfield
Lands of Light: Lloyd Rees and Tasmania 7 March - 27 October 2024 at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart (Nunn, C 'Lloyd Rees and his materials - permanence and alteration')

I also contributed to the Reflections series for Castlemaine Art Museum (CAM) about my recent treatment of a Dora Meeson painting.
My other contributions to the CAM Reflections series (Part 1 and Part 2) are about two small French paintings in the CAM collection by John Longstaff.
