Welcome!
I am a PhD candidate and lecturer in the department of Art History at the University of Amsterdam since September 2022. I am interested in the intersection between art, cultural and social history, specializing in the relation between gender, class, and patronage of art in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Europe.
My current PhD-project – funded by the Amsterdam School of Historical Studies and supervised by dr Rachel Esner and dr Danielle van den Heuvel – sets out to study women’s patronage practices in arts associations between 1870-1940, specifically in the Rembrandt Association.
