An excellent writer and highly skillful editor, Julia brings clarity and order to long and complex scholarly articles. Under tremendous pressure from start to finish, she met rigid printer deadlines while maintaining the Journal's high academic standards. Her in-depth knowledge of all areas of art history was invaluable for this assignment. Having a keen visual sense, she was also instrumental in producing a handsome design for the article.
