West began her career in academic publishing, working as an editor for the Grove Dictionary of Art. She then transitioned to her first academic appointment at the University of Leicester , where she began to focus her research on portraiture and visual culture within European contexts.

Her early scholarly contributions laid the foundation for her ongoing research interests in the relationship between art and social identity. Her role at AHRC marked a shift in her career toward research management and policy development, although she continued her own scholarship in art history, focusing on themes such as German art and cultural identity.

During her tenure, she researched portraiture , which culminated in the publication of Portraiture , an examination of the history and cultural significance of portraiture as a genre.
