Her book Ancient Greek Portrait Sculpture: Contexts, Subjects, and Styles (2006; paperback edition 2012) was awarded the James R.

She co-edited A Companion to Women in the Ancient World with her colleague Sharon James of UNC-Chapel Hill (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012), and is developing a project on death and the art of sculptural commemoration in Athens from the 5th century BCE to the 19th century CE, which will leverage digital visualization for recreating standing monument cemeteries.
