Elizabeth Hayt is an artist and designer celebrated for her handcrafted textile flowers. After a successful career as an art critic for ArtNews and a lecturer at MoMa, she transitioned to reporting on culture and beauty for esteemed publications like the NYT and Vogue. Now, she channels her keen eye into creating distinctive home decor pieces inspired by nature's flora and fauna.

She has taken her deep knowledge of couture fashion and borrowed from its emphasis on luxury and imaginative uses of material - weaving together elaborate compositions and material finery, from metallic brocade to glittery tulle to Swarovski crystals to vintage millinery plumes. Her work evokes the spirit of the baroque and archly feminine ornamentation. These elegant and yet extravagant faux flora inspired her recent new tabletop collections which are available at Bergdorf Goodman. Her designs have been featured in Elle Decor, NYC Cottages and Garden, Hamptons Magazine and others.
