I have many years of experience in lettering and design. I am ready to be your personal calligrapher and help you set the tone for your upcoming event. I love addressing envelopes and lettering all of the other calligraphy needs related to your day....Place Cards, Table Numbers, Favors, Gifts and more...

​There are many ways to add art to your envelopes. Create a unique appearance that reflects you and your event. Let my years of experience as a Designer, Event Planner and Artist-Calligrapher help you accomplish that!
Every person's requirements are different, so contact me to discuss your project and meet for a consultation.
More about me...

I have attended calligraphy workshops and yearly conferences for over 15 years, furthering my education of lettering and art techniques. Much of my work has been influenced by Heather Held, Harvest Crittenden, Reggie Ezell, Linda Schneider and Bill Kemp - modern day educators for calligraphers world wide.
Before becoming a Calligrapher I was an Interior Designer - Draftsman for 20 years.  I also owned and operated a Wedding Venue in a historic home for 12 years. During most of that time I was a Master Gardener for my county and state - I have a great appreciation for details and timing. It's been an exciting life! My love of letters started at a young age when I first learned to print and execute cursive letters in grade school. I have been perfecting my craft a long time.
Love Life, Do Good, Live Well - it's my motto.
