Her scholarly expertise is in 17th-18th century French and Italian art; her dissertation, from NYU, was on the French Academy in Rome and the Accademia di San Luca during the period 1660-1740.

“The CCL program was a formative experience that helped me take on new responsibilities within the curatorial, and later directorial, arenas. Among the greatest sources of learning were my fellow participants, along with the many inspiring leaders with whom we engaged.”
