I am the Visual Resources Curator and an Art Historian at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I received my training at Southern Methodist University, University College-London, Penn State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My interests include: almost all culture from 1895-1919 in America and Europe, but especially design, architecture, and film; gender; theater; and digital humanities. I co-curated with Timothy Riggs the Ackland Art Museum exhibition Apocalypse Then: Images of Destruction, Prophecy and Judgment from Dürer to the Twentieth Century (2000). An addendum chapter to a new edition of John V. Allcott’s The Campus at Chapel Hill: 225 of Architecture (2019) is now available (read more here: https://college.unc.edu/2019/09/allcott-architecture-book/). I continue to work on the Artists’ Studio Archives Project (artiststudioarchives.org). More information about me can be found on my UNC-Chapel Hill Faculty paqe.

I conduct “The Campus at Chapel Hill” Architecture Tours through Heart of the Hill Tours. See their website for more information and to register for a tour!

I will be adding more course pages in the future. Semi-regular blog posts by me or my ARTH 851 students can be found at Digital Art History Thursdays.


“Claiming a Place: Women Architects and World Fairs” (or should it be World’s Fairs?) is the title of a research project still in the germination/research phase but which will include a Digital Art History component that will be homed on this site. Among the architects who will be covered are Minerva Parker Nichols and Sophia Hayden, Margarete Knuppelholz-Roeser, Julia Morgan, Margaret Staal-Kropholler, Aino Aalto, Charlotte Perriand, and Zaha Hadid.
