I currently hold the position of Artist in Residence, Art History and Studio Art at Franklin University Switzerland, an American university dedicated to international, intercultural and interdisciplinary education (Swiss/American accreditation). In addition to my academic career, including publications and translations in art and architecture, I am a practicing artist, and have exhibited internationally. Over the years my research activity has shifted from research in art history (Italian Renaissance; travel literature/culture consumption in the Victorian age) to art education and the creative process. I am also engaged in teaching art and encouraging people to incorporate it in their lives on various levels: Franklin University studio art courses and travel seminars, extracurricular art activities for students in the schools, adult art groups in my studio (life drawing group; group visits to museums or exhibits, weekend art seminars), teaching art and art history modules in the high school, open studio days.
