Women Impressionists and the Land

Curator and Head of the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Saint Louis Art Museum.

My research focuses on avant‑garde nineteenth and early twentieth‑century French art. I am particularly interested in landscape imagery, especially that of Barbizon, Impressionist and Fauve painters. I have also published on German twentieth‑century painting and African American contemporary art. My methodology situates artists within the context of their wider cultural and socio‑economic markets.

After completing my undergraduate degree in the History of Art with first‑class honors at the University of Cambridge, I pursued my PhD at the University of Oxford as one of the final students of Professor Francis Haskell. I also worked closely with Dr. Jon Whiteley.
