Areas of Expertise
I enjoy exploring the shifting relationship between craft, design, and American culture, especially as expressed in jewelry, metalwork, and ceramics. Thanks to my long experience with the encyclopedic collection of American art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and through independent projects for other museums, I conduct research and direct projects on topics dating from the colonial era to the present.
Exhibitions
Exhibitions on contemporary craft, jewelry, and decorative arts are my specialty, whether they survey a period of time or focus on a single artist. As my recent exhibition, L’Affichomania: The Passion for French Posters, demonstrates, I am always ready to tackle new subject matter.
