Victorian Hairwork

Historian and artist specializing in the delicate and expressive art of Victorian hairwork, with a focus on wirework hair flowers, a form rich in symbolism, craftsmanship, and intimate meaning. Join me in exploring the history and artistry of this near-forgotten tradition.

My practice is based 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.
