I specialise in making the historic interior, art and decor fun and an educational experience. I am a Visiting Research Fellow in Art History at the University of Adelaide and I have published widely on the domestic interior in representation from the eighteenth century to the modern period. My recent books include: Domestic Interiors: Representing Home from the Victorians to the Moderns, (2013), which won the Art Association of Australia and NZ Best Anthology Prize in 2014; and Designing the French Interior: The Modern Home and Mass Media (edited with Anca Lasc and Mark Taylor 2015) both published by Bloomsbury.  My third volume Domesticity under Siege: threatening spaces of the modern home, is due late 2022.
