Me

I manage the Luce Foundation Center, the visible storage facility for the Smithsonian American Art Museum. I love my job most of the time. I am from England (not Australia). I live in Baltimore with my husband and our four cats. I cannot live without books (on Kindle or in real life), Yorkshire tea, and good wine glasses.

I believe that:

• Museums should be places to play
• There’s no harm in a bit of silliness
• The best paintings are paintings of mustaches or monsters
• If you don’t know the story behind an artwork, you should make one up

P.S. I am a British Citizen who has recently applied for a Green Card based on marriage to a U.S. Citizen. I found surprisingly little helpful information on this subject, so I thought I would share my knowledge. Please check out the page before you contact me with questions.
