Hair art ~ Jennifer Modica

Its amazing how many different types of art forms there are! Its not just the traditional paper, paint, etc... art can be in tattoo work, landscaping, hair, makeup, photography and so much more! I have always liked to braid hair, but got in to it much more after meeting my husband. And now, my 5 year old boy has extremely long, very curly hair. I have been braiding his hair for the past few years...

I am amazed at what people can do with braids! It is not just a hair style, but also an expression of art. It takes great skill, talent and time to create these works of art. A sample of So Yoon Lyms work is below. These are acrylic on paper paintings and are based on photos she had taken of students and strangers in New Jersey. Although she does not braid these herself, there are many people out there with incredible skills... braiding is not easy.
