I specialize in the delicate and expressive art of Victorian hairwork, with a focus on wirework hair flowers, a form rich in symbolism, craftmanship, and intimate meaning. Whether you're here to learn, to commission a custom heirloom, or simply to explore the beauty of this near-forgotten tradition, welcome.

As an artist, historian, and educator with a profound love for 19th-century material culture, I base my practice on extensive research into historical techniques and aesthetics, honoring the past while inviting new expressions of memory and connection. My expertise centers on 19th-century American primary sources, practices, and material culture, while also engaging with the broader transatlantic traditions of Victorian hairwork.

Remembrance, artistry, and history intertwined.
