Her research and writing have focused on artistic self-fashioning and imitative strategies in sixteenth-century papal Rome. She is broadly interested in theories of representation and cultural translation and brokerage. She is currently completing a book on the art of the miniaturist Giulio Clovio, a leading interpreter of Michelangelo, and has begun a second book project on artistic professionalization and cultural brokerage between Italy and Habsburg imperial centers. A collection of essays co-edited with Piers Baker-Bates on the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century practice of oil painting on stone supports will be published by Brill in early 2018.
