Her father is a private art dealer, and her mother is an art advisor who was trained as an art historian. Ms. Wyeth is the great-granddaughter of illustrator N.C. Wyeth and the niece of contemporary realist Jamie Wyeth.

From 2004 until 2011, Ms. Wyeth conducted gallery talks five days a week at the Brandywine River Museum, in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, near her grandparents’ home. The Brandywine Museum is renowned for its collection of works by the Wyeth family.

Ms. Wyeth has lectured extensively throughout the United States and abroad. She’s given gallery talks and Power Point lectures at Wyeth museum exhibitions from Tokyo to Paris. Her early morning gallery talks during the 2006 Andrew Wyeth retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum were consistently sold-out.

She then spent a year as a Visiting Graduate Student at Harvard University, where she studied the History of Science and the History of Medicine.
