Follow In JMW Turner’s Footsteps | Discover How He Captured London's Thames 200 Years Ago

I tudied History at Cambridge, undertook my Masters in Art History at The Courtauld Institute and my PhD, ‘Mediating Art and Experience: Art Museums in Las Vegas’, is from Birkbeck, University of London.

As Museum Director, I ran Turner’s House in Twickenham, dedicated to the great landscape painter, JMW Turner. I led a team of five staff and forty volunteers and was involved in all aspects of strategy, budget, fundraising and human resources. It was one of the great pleasures of my life to bring JMW Turner to as many people as possible. I taught for over eight years at Birkbeck, University of London. I was Head of the London learning team at the Royal Collection and devised, ran and delivered a wide range of learning events at the National Gallery. Before working in museums, I was a Director in the Valuations Department at Christie's.
