Profile Information

I Love Hats Because?: I have always loved hats. The are fashion and costume. They can be fun, sophisticated, and transforming all at the same time.

No one can remain unchanged after trying on a wonderful hat.

About Me: I've been a visual artist my whole life, with a father who was a commercial artist and creativity running in both sides of the family, from art to music to writing.

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting, sculpture, and ceramics from Southern Methodist University. I loved art school!

I wanted to learn millinery for many years before finally starting in 2009. I cannot picture my life without hats.

If I were living in the woods, I would still be wearing twig-and-leaf hats for special occasions.
