I study the history and theory of modernism from impressionism to the present. My research asks how modern art shapes identity. Informed by my interest in critical theory, I treat identity as an ongoing process, not a fixed position, exploring how we come to identify as the people who we are in relation to others and social institutions.
My book, Painting with Monet, is available from Princeton University Press.
