She is a New York based art historian, curator, and writer. She completed her dissertation on Painterly Representation in New York: 1945- 1975 at The City University of New York. Afterwards she was a Director of the Center for Figurative Painting and has a resume of curating major historical exhibitions on the History of the New York Studio School and the Jane Street Group.

Currently, she is a professor of Art History at her alma mater of CUNY where she co-directs a gallery in downtown Manhattan called the Steven Harvey Fine Arts Project. She feels powerfully about the voice of the individual artists and has lectured across the country at universities on “The Role of Empathy in Art.” Her writings have been published in Master Drawings, Hyperallergic, ArtNet Magazine, the New York Sun, and numerous exhibition catalogs. Her most recent writings are for Hyperallergic for a series called “Beer with a Painter” in which she relaxes with other artists and interviews them about their craft and life.
