Biography

I am an Architectural Historian with specialist interest in the architecture of the European Renaissance and in the use of architecture to promote specific ideological or sociological principles. I have been teaching at PACE for over ten years and relish the opportunity to share my love for art and architecture with students. I also lead architectural tours abroad and give invited lectures nationally.

My PhD was from the University of Reading and the subject of my doctoral thesis was the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini a Renaissance architect working in northern Italy. On many visits to Italy I have expanded my research and continue to discover new areas of interest. I have a particular fascination with how the Fascist regime used art and architecture to promote a particular ideology.

Teaching continues to be my passion and the International Summer Programme is a particular favourite, always stimulating and enjoyable.
