It has been said that wig making is one of the most ancient of the minor arts, a profession reaching back through the centuries to today .
Wigs are transformative, allowing us to view ourselves from another perspective. They may be used to create a fantasy, conceal a bad hair day, create a new look or support us as we move through a difficult time in life, restoring confidence and a sense of beauty.
I believe from the conception of an idea to the creation of a piece comes from the mind to the hands, through the heart, a magical process of transformation. My challenge and pleasure is to bring your vision to reality. I feel fortunate to carry on this ancient craft.
When I sit at my bench and see a blank wooden wig block staring back at me , I am excited! As I sew the foundation I begin to see the person looking at me from the block. Tying knot after knot I see the collection of colors, textures on the wig lace begin to frame the face I see on the block and become that person. It is a magical process for me and I am delighted and awed with each piece.
