PhD candidate in Art History
University of Amsterdam September 2022 – present

My PhD project sets out to study women’s patronage practices in the Rembrandt Association (1883-1940), an organization that funds the acquisition of artworks for public museum collections in the Netherlands. I am using quantitative research methods to uncover in what ways women engaged in public museum patronage and how apparent patterns of giving can be explained.

Researcher
Foundation Edwina van Heek February – August 2022

I have conducted research into the Dutch art collectors Bernard and Edwina van Heek and contributed an essay to the catalogue of the collection of paintings owned by the Foundation Edwina van Heek and on display at Huis Zonnebeek in Enschede.

In the context of the research platform The Other Half. Women in the Dutch Art World, 1780-1980, I did preliminary research into female patrons active around 1900 under supervision of Mayken Jonkman. I made an initial inventory of names, and registered and corrected biographical and bibliographical data in the RKD’s databases.

Curator in training

Under the guidance of Dr. Maite van Dijk en Dr. Marijke Vellekoop, I curated an exhibition on artists’ portraits on paper in the prints’ cabinet and assisted in organization the solo presentations of work by several contemporary artists.
