She is the author of Vision, Devotion, and Self-Representation in Late Medieval Art (Cambridge, 2014), as well as numerous essays in such journals as The Art Bulletin, Gesta, Word & Image, and Studies in Iconography. The book project she will develop as a Clark Fellow takes a long historical view of an illustrated textual tradition, the vernacular moral treatise La Somme le roi, investigating its role in the political, pious, and visual cultures of late-medieval Europe.
