Current Projects

Sylvia Sleigh: Monograph and Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings
This yearslong research project will culminate in two publications. The first is a forthcoming monograph about the life and work of the feminist painter Sylvia Sleigh (1916–2010). The second is a complete critical catalogue of every known painting created by the artist.

The Women of SOHO 20 Gallery: Founders and Early Members
This multiyear project is a detailed study that explores the founding of SOHO 20 Gallery (est. 1973), its exhibition program in the mid-1970s, and the professional careers of its original members. SOHO 20 was the second women-only, artist-run exhibition venue in New York City and the only expressly feminist gallery.
