    ABOUT ME

    I am a PhD student in art history at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

    My research explores the intersections of early modern globalization and the visual and material culture of the Qing court. My dissertation examines the relationship between image-making and diplomacy at EurAsian courts during the 17th and 18th centuries.

    I received my BA in History of Art from University College London, and MA in Art History from UCLA.

    I divide my time between LA, New York, Beijing, and Warsaw, continually inspired by museums and the people I meet around the world!
