At a time when it’s easier to sit at a computer and type out my message, I know that as a calligraphy artist my senses are filled as a computer cannot do.  The shapes of the letters imitate nature;  look at the flow of a tree branch or the stem of a flower.  There are no rigid lines in calligraphy just as there are no rigid lines in nature.  Man-made objects have strong angles and sharp corners.  Everything in calligraphy curves or bends gradually.  There is no abrupt start or finish to the letters.  As a calligraphy artist ,when I look at calligraphy, I want to slow down, relax and take the time to read what was scripted.

When I write in my everyday hand, my writing is practically illegible.  When I pick up one of my calligraphy pens,  I feel a change come over me and I automatically slow down. I form each letter, then each word and then each line, then the entire “picture” with each stroke of my pen.  These are inspired moments for me and I take great pride in being a calligraphy artist.

Whether you want your favorite quote transferred into a beautiful script, or you want your invitations for your special event done in calligraphy, I invite you to choose the hand-written beauty of calligraphy from a calligraphy artist.
