Description: Working as a full-time calligrapher since 1998, I do a wide range of projects from chalkboards in restaurants, to invitations & envelopes, to commissions, to family trees and more. I've worked on a range of surfaces from the classic papers to etching into glass, blasting into stone, to brush lettering on canvas, and most recently, lettering on a fiberglass horse.
