About Me

I am originally from Montreal, Canada and now live in Sheffield, UK. I work in children's social care policy. I'm a book worm.

I have a PhD in History of Art from the University of York (UK). My thesis explored the dialogue between modernist photography and abstraction (1914-1930). I examined atmospheres in photographs through a formalist-phenomenological methodology. Feminism/women's art, art in remote places and the intersection of art and ecology are also important to me.

I have a BA at McGill University in Art History and World Cinemas and an MA in History of Art at UCL. My masters thesis focused on the 1967 Fogo Island Challenge for Change documentaries.
