On the Faculties of: the International Center of Photography, New York City--for whom I teach photography workshops in Venice and on Lake Como, Italy--and the Lesley Seminars at Lesley University (formerly Radcliffe Seminars at Harvard University), where I teach courses on the history of photography, on women in photography and culture, on making photographs, and on constructing portfolios, photographic exhibitions, and photographic books. At Lesley Seminars I also teach Photography Atelier (an ongoing seminar for advanced photographers) with Karen Davis. As an artist-photographer I have exhibited at Harvard and Northeastern universities and extensively elsewhere in Boston, Chicago, on Cape Cod, & in Venice, Italy.
In 1994-95 I won a Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation Fellowship to spend a year in Venice, Italy. Works-in-progress: As an artist, for 17 years I have been photographing laundry on islands in the Venetian Lagoon and the casalinghe, (traditional Italian housewives), who hang it. As a researcher I am writing about the themes of sexual selection and sibylline imagery in the work of 19th century photographer Julia Margaret Cameron.
