CV

I was born in Israel and subsequently lived in South Africa, England and Portugal, before settling back in England in 2002. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts degree from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg and an M.A. and PhD. in history of art from the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. Although for many years, I wrote and published within the disciplines of art history and cultural criticism, my current writing projects blend memoir, lyric essay, cultural criticism and (sometimes) autofiction. My work in progress is titled Over: A Story of Loss, Reading and Playlists. In 2022, on the basis of the first 10,000 words of this piece of autofiction, I was shortlisted for the prestigious Discoveries Prize run by The Women's Prize Trust.  In 2022, I was also longlisted for the short fiction prize, and shortlisted for the short memoir prize run by Fish Publishing, for which I also received an honorary mention.  

publications

In Lisbon, I published weekly art reviews in the newspaper O Independente from 1989 to 1992, the magazine Visão, between 1993 and 2000, and monthly contributions to the magazine City from 1999 to its close in 2000. From April 2001, contributions to the website artlink, now no longer in existence. None of these pieces is documented here.
