Over the years, I have worked on many special exhibitions and gallery installations of Egyptian and Ancient Near Eastern Art and have been fortunate to work with a number of exceptional curators, designers, and conservators. The following are exhibitions I have worked on.
Current Exhibition
The Albany Institute of History & Art is hosting the exhibition From the Hudson to the Nile: Dows Dunham and the Archaeology of Egypt and Sudan, on view from November 8, 2025, through May 3, 2026. The exhibition celebrates the remarkable career of Dows Dunham (1890–1984), a Hudson Valley–born archaeologist whose pioneering fieldwork in Egypt and Sudan and dedicated scholarship as a curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston transformed the field and continue to shape the study and preservation of ancient civilizations today.
A video to accompany the exhibition was produced by Luis Dechtiar, a noted film maker and great grandson of Dows Dunham.
