From 1984-2001 I taught full-time for Sotheby's Institute. Initially I taught the Foundation Course which covered the development of Architecture, Sculpture, Painting and the Decorative Arts from Antiquity to the present day. From 1994-2001 I developed and taught a course on the history of taste and collecting in the Nineteenth century. After retiring from Sotheby's I taught at Christie's for one year.

I have a particular interest in 19th Century Scandinavian painting and whilst at Sotheby's created a study option for BA students on Nineteenth Century Rural Communities of Artists. I organised and taught Study Weeks to Sotheby's clients and alumni in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö and lectured on study programmes on the Italian Renaissance in Florence, Milan and Chicago.

In addition I have lectured on several Summer Schools for Elderhostel (an American Organisation aimed at ongoing education for retired professionals). I created a programme for them on early Twentieth Century Art, Architecture and the Decorative Arts, giving lectures onboard the QEII and providing gallery talks in museums in New York, Boston and London. I continue to give lectures and gallery talks to organisations including Christie's, IESA at the Wallace Collection and the City and Guilds of London Art School.
