She is currently working on issues of copying and emulation in roman art and the uses made of Roman art by the italian fascist government. She has published on Roman portraiture, ideal sculpture, late antique mythological sculpture, Pompeian wall painting and on a modern replica of paintings in the Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii. Her research extends to a variety of collections in the Kelsey Museum where she has curated numerous exhibitions. She also works on Roman concrete construction, especially that of the harbor of Cosa in Italy.
