My research examines how female sovereignty was represented in the portraiture and visual culture of Mary I of England and Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots. It explores gender and image-making practices in the mid-sixteenth century, and seeks to demonstrate how the role of the queen was constructed and presented in portraiture and associated material culture. 

General areas of interest include queenship and self-fashioning, portraiture, Renaissance and Early Modern Britain and France, the Tudors and the Stuarts, and Renaissance art and culture.
