Biography

Kathleen Kiernan was the recipient of the Harold Wright and Sarah and William Holmes Scholarship in 2006. She is an independent scholar of prints, whose current research focuses on iconography and meaning in secular landscape art, and the collecting and trade of landscape prints in 18th-century London.

In 2009 Kathleen carefully researched the Dutch landscape prints by Jan van de Velde II that were donated to the Baillieu Library by Dr J. Orde Poynton. Her research resulted in the successful exhibition at the Ian Potter Museum of Art, titled Journeys and Places: Landscape Etchings by Jan van de Velde II.

Kathleen is currently working as a curator with the Melbourne Law School for a series of events celebrating the centenary of the birth of Sir Zelman Cowen. [Prints, Printmaking and Philanthropy, 2019]
