My name is Jennifer Kilian. I was born in New York City in 1953. As a child I lived in London, Rome, Paris, Brussels, Geneva and later in Connecticut, USA. I took a PhD in the history of art from New York University, The Institute of Fine Art, and am specialised in Dutch art of the Golden Age, with minors in Early Netherlandish Painting and Photography. I moved to the Netherlands in 1985, and since then have raised a family, written articles and books, co-founded Kist & Kilian, and have been on an expanding journey of learning, including courses in falconry, photography, and quilting. With a journalist, copywriter and poet, and an artist in my family, it is not surprising that art and words are a passion, and translating a great pleasure.
