I have curated temporary displays at the Gallery, including Changing Impressions: A Print Conservation Project in Focus, 2002; Portraits of Alphonse Legros, 2004; Nelson: Before and After Trafalgar, 2005; and Henry VIII Remembered, 2008. I am currently working on a major loan exhibition on the life of the 1st Duke of Wellington, to be held at the Gallery in 2015.

My research interests include the history of prints and printmaking, portraits of military and naval personalities and the reception and interpretation of those portraits.
