About the speaker: 
I am an art historian, research associate at the Open University and I lead the Trinity Network and the Adornes Network. My main area of research is the Trinity Collegiate Church and the Trinity Altarpiece in Edinburgh and links between fifteenth century Scotland and Flanders. I recently curated an 8 week exhibition of my Trinity research at the Museum of Edinburgh, have written articles and have a book coming out soon. I love talking to groups and give regular lectures. I can adapt talks to the needs of each group. The main themes are exploring exciting and little known aspects of Scottish fifteenth century art and social history- peoples, places, objects.
