I fell in love with letters when I was a child. Cursive hand writing was one of my favorite subjects in Elementary School. I am very sad to know that it is no longer being taught in grade school. Letter forms are graceful and there is nothing more meditative than doing Calligraphy. I work as an artist and oil painter and I work on my Calligraphy whenever time permits. I have studied with Suzanna Moore and a few other advanced letter artists over the last 30 years. I hope to continue learning and perfecting my letter forms. I teach beginner Italic and work as a freelance Calligrapher in MA.

I fell in love with the art of calligraphy while attending MassArt in 1982 and have pursued it since. After earning my BFA in design, I continued my studies in letter arts with Nancy Culmone, Ward Dunham, Reggie Ezell, Gerry Jackson Kerdock. The knowledge I gained from each of these artists has been invaluable. I find that I continue to learn and experience more with practice as well as sharing what I’ve learned with others.

I fell in love with pen and ink in elementary school, during handwriting class. I tried to self teach Calligraphy using various texts but in college and later at the Worcester Art Museum I worked to really improve my skills. I think all life events need to be noted and provide addressing services, escort/place cards as well as various signage for weddings. I will create birth announcements, birthday/anniversary scrolls and more. I have worked on fabric as well as surfaces like mirrors. I try to keep it rea$onable and have worked all over New England. I am located on the Massachusetts -Connecticut border with easy access to Massachusetts, Connecticut an Rhode Island locations. Learning and practicing everyday!
