I write books and journalism, contributing to The Times, BBC Culture, World of Interiors, The Telegraph, the TLS, Prospect, the V&A magazine and RPS Journal. My book about women painters is coming out Spring 2024, and right now, I’m working on a biography of Mabel Pryde Nicholson for Eiderdown.

I also write catalogue essays for museums including the National Portrait Gallery, the Barbican and the Thyssen-Bornemisza National, Madrid, and with galleries, individual artists and photographers, publishers and cultural communications agencies on web content, exhibition texts, forewords, publicity materials and repositioning. I cut and edit manuscripts for both authors and publishers.

Between 2003 and 2022 I worked at The Telegraph, where I was visual arts editor and a features writer, and before that for a Modern and Impressionist art dealer. I’m co-curating an exhibition for 2024.
