Art Historian and Art Educator

  These pages make available some of my professional activities and accomplishments. My research specialization is in the visual  culture produced in the sixteenth and seventeenth century Low Countries, and how print and visual culture helped shape European  ideas and rhetoric about empire and power that continue to resonate today. I have published on animal and environmental  art and ethics, and how a phenomenology of art can illuminate these issues. My edited volume on Women Artists and Patrons in the Netherlands, and monograph chronicling the handmade objects by Ho-Chunk artist Angel De Cora and Norwegian immigrant Karen Thronson, continue to engage feminist and decolonial theories. More recently, I have edited a collection of essays chronicling action research in K-12 Art rooms completed by practicing teachers for their Master's in Art Education.
