My research explores the ways that images create meaning, elicit viewer responses, and change over time. I am interested in the transition between Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages–including the way that the Carolingians reinterpreted the Roman past. I have a background in technical theatre, experience as an illustrator, and continue to maintain an arts practice.
