Andrea Pappas is Professor of Art History at Santa Clara University. She has published on topics ranging from the Renaissance to the present and is particularly interested in the work of people on the margins or in overlooked artefacts.

'By isolating the contingent details found within these embroidered landscapes, Pappas foregrounds the economic, geographical, and horticultural knowledge possessed by the women who produced them... Overarchingly, Embroidering the Landscape: Women, Art and the Environment in British North America, 1740–1770 is an important contribution to the study of visual culture as well as the complex ecosystem of British North America with its dependence upon a global economy for its very survival. This much-needed study will complement the fields of American art, decorative arts, environmental history, and women’s studies.’ – Nancy Siegel, CAA Reviews
