My primary research field is modern and contemporary art, with a particular interest in artworks that explore issues related to identity and corporeality. I am interested in how a robust theology of the Incarnation can inform the ways in which Christians engage with the visual arts. In addition to scholarly articles on Hawaiian landscape painting and contemporary Black photographers, I frequently write and speak to laypeople on the intersection of faith and visual culture. In the classroom, I am particularly passionate about teaching students to write well, and to be able to communicate effectively about images and created objects. My first book, Redeeming Vision: A Christian Guide to Looking at and Learning from Art (2023), is available from Baker Academic Press.
