I teach a range of art history courses, which included until recently Women’s Art History, and studio courses as well. I am also a mother of a 20 month old. In my spare time (:)) I am a mixed-media artist, whose work focuses on representation, symbols, and uncovering a grammar of the physical female body. I am indebted to my Women’s Studies concentration for its theoretical foundations and the personal discovery it encouraged.
