Previously, she taught at Kennesaw State University, where she served as Program Coordinator of Art History and of Classical Studies as well. She was educated at Yale University and the University of California at Berkeley, concentrating on Classics, Archaeology, and the History of Art. She also was a Regular Member at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, Greece, and she carried out additional archaeological training at the American Academy in Rome, Italy. She has excavated in Greece, Israel, Italy, and the United States, and she has studied the practice of stone-carving. Her research deals with Greek art and architecture, its interaction with Rome and the Near East, and its use in Islamic art and architecture. It is interdisciplinary and object-oriented, and she is especially interested in exploring issues that involve the relationship of art and text; sculpture; and gender, identity, social status, and cross-cultural exchange. She is the author of Rhetoric and Innovation in Hellenistic Art (Cambridge University Press forthcoming), the co-editor of Artists and Artistic Production in Ancient Greece (Cambridge University Press 2017), and the author of several articles and book chapters about ancient Mediterranean art and architecture. Currently, she is working on a book project that retrieves the experiences and the perspectives of enslaved and free quarrymasons, miners, and everyday art-workers in the sculpture industry of ancient Greece and Rome, and she is examining excavated Roman sculpture from the Athenian Agora. She has received several fellowships, including funding from the Fulbright Foundation, the Loeb Classical Library Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the State Scholarships Foundation of Greece (IKY). At the University of Oregon, she has received a Faculty Research Award from the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation and Academic Support Grants from the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.

Greek artists and architects were important social agents who played significant roles in the social, cultural, and economic life of the ancient Greek world. In Artists and Artistic Production in Ancient Greece, art historians, archaeologists, and historians explore the roles and impacts of artists and craftsmen in ancient Greek society. The contributing authors draw upon artistic, architectural, literary, epigraphical, and historical evidence to discuss a range of artists, architects, artistic media, and regions. They refer to historiography and modern theory, taking stock of the past while offering some new directions for future research. Incorporating a variety of methodological approaches and making use of often-neglected evidence, Artists and Artistic Production in Ancient Greece re-examines many long-held ideas and provides a deeper understanding of particular artists and architects, their works, and their social agency.
