Biography
I am an independent art historian and curator. Since 2011, I have been the Director of the Jack Bush Catalogue Raisonné project, which is affiliated with the Department of Art History (University of Toronto). The complete record of 1,850 paintings by the artist was published in four volumes in September 2024. I have taught modern and contemporary Canadian art at the University of British Columbia, the University of Guelph, and the University of Toronto. My professional experience as a curator began here at the University of Toronto, as Assistant Curator of the Hart House permanent art collection and, between 2015 and 2018, I served as Chief Curator of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. My current research interests include the international intersections of Color Field art, catalogue raisonné methodology and the role of Artificial Intelligence in connoisseurship and art authentication.
