I am a New York–based historian of art and visual culture specializing in twentieth-century Central and Eastern Europe. My work focuses primarily on the relationship between cultural production and politics in the former Soviet satellite states, particularly Poland, during the 1940s and 1950s.

I have written and presented on the Russian avant-gardes; state-directed cultural production across the former Eastern Bloc; realisms in Europe and the U.S.; and the transnational circulation of art between East and West during the Cold War. My recent publications include an article about the touring exhibitions program ("wystawy objazdowe") in Poland (1947-1949) in Curator: The Museum Journal, which is the first scholarly study of this state-funded exhibition initiative, and a book chapter about Tadeusz Kantor's participation in the 1982 cultural exchange between Poland and Los Angeles.

My work has been supported by grants from the CUNY Graduate Center, the Association for Slavic, East European, & Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, and CUNY Humanities Alliance. In 2026, I was the recipient of the Independent Scholar Research Grant from the Society of Historians of East European, Eurasian, and Russian Art and Architecture (SHERA).

I am an Adjunct Instructor at Fordham University and a Senior Teaching Fellow at the Whitney Museum of American Art. I hold a Ph.D. from the City University of New York--Graduate Center, an M.A. from the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, and a B.A. from Fordham University.
