What vocation gives us pleasure? What's worth mastering? And our time when we're free to study?
Hayden grew up in Baton Rouge, LA , in her mother's studio – a pleasure pen for any child – piles of artists' chalks, pencils, paper, tacky glue, ribbons, knives, and wire plus the space and time. Long sunny southern afternoons experimenting and learning with a child's focus: color, form and texture.
For an artist who is also a Mom, is there a better Nanny?
Hayden received her BA/ Industrial Design from the Rhode Island School of Design in the Spring of 2010. There she experienced a total immersion in the fine arts and art history.

She is most appreciative for her Professors who rigorously drove her, to welcome the marathon work loads, to dig deeper every time for the “nucleus of form”. They taught “Never take a forward step for granted”. She experienced revelations at an auto-shutter speed intensity. Can we still live our adult lives by these lessons? Enduring patience, failure and frustration, then going back to work again, to gain skill, and to make something worthwhile.
“Everything happened in the studio.” says Hayden.
And so, what about the lace?
