Kimberley-Anne Pixley is currently completing her PhD at the University of Toronto in the area of Ancient Art, specializing in Greek and Roman art and architecture, archaeology and visual culture. Her dissertation, entitled "Banausic Labour in Attic Vase-Painting," deals broadly with the iconography of painted decoration on Greek vases and concentrates specifically on the representations of industrial workshop scenes in Attic vase-painting, ranging in date from the late 6th to the mid-5th centuries BC Her research interests include the iconography of daily life, mercantile activity and social class in Archaic and Classical Athens and the disparities between representation and reality in the ancient Greek world.
She has taught courses in the Art History Department at the University of Toronto, as well as the Center for Hellenic, Mediterranean and Balkan Studies of Arcadia University in Athens, Greece.
