About Me.
Eager Hearts Photography
|
I am an arts and culture journalist and dress historian who specializes in the intersection of fashion, art, and design, whether it be artist-made jewelry or genre-bending designer retrospectives. I am currently a freelancer for Architectural Digest, Christie’s, TEFAF, and LX Collection, and I am also open to additional luxury-lifestyle editorial opportunities.
I recently served as the Associate Digital Editor at Galerie magazine, where I wrote stories aligned with the company’s distinct “Live Artfully” lens. There, I also assisted with web development, social media, newsletter production, and several other areas of the business. Highlights include interviewing established and emerging artists, such as trailblazing blue-chip painter, Pat Steir, or Ghanaian portraitist, Kwesi Botchway, as well as a similar range of talent in fine jewelry and interior design. Prior to that I was the Senior Writer/Producer on Sotheby’s New York editorial team, where I spent nearly five years creating content about luxury and fine art. I additionally led Sotheby's event coverage and partnership content for the Americas. Past publications I have written for include The Hollywood Reporter, DuJour, Refinery29, Lucky, and The Fashion Studies Journal, among others. I have also conducted research for the CFDA’s and Booth Moore’s American Runway: 75 Years of Fashion and the Front Row, and New York Times best-selling author M.J. Rose. In May 2019 I received my master's degree from New York University's Costume Studies program, after completing my thesis on Giovanni Boldini and his two muses, the Marchesa Casati and Rita Lydig. I look forward to growing my presence in the fascinating world of dress academia with presentations and conferences planned in 2021. EDUCATION
