Born in Philadelphia, Mary Holzman-Tweed lives and works in the vibrant neighborhood of Astoria, New York.

Entirely self-taught, Mary has experimented with handcrafts of all kinds from childhood, settling into jewelry and design in recent years. Inspired by sources such as Alexander McQueen, the Romantics, and early Disney villains, Mary established Muses Well in 2013, quickly gaining attention at local events, fashion shows, and in publications.

Working mainly in hand trimmed and embellished Venetian lace, Mary creates accessories that combine high drama and romance with wearable style, allowing the wearer to add fantasy and glamour to every occasion.
