I hand-letter poetry, menus, diplomas, wedding invitations, certificates, awards, proclamations, sentiments and displays of all kinds.

I have over 40 years of calligraphy experience and enjoy working in many styles.  Illustrations and decorative flourishes are a welcome part of many calligraphy projects.  Your phone inquiries are gladly welcomed for discussing colors, papers, pricing and general details.  Email is good for wording and more specific things.  If you are local (Albany, NY) you are welcome to visit but please try to call first. These examples should give you a good idea of variety and possibilities:

Wedding vows in calligraphy. I also painted the calla lily motif on the mat.

Department signs at Dean’s Incredible Edibles were hand-calligraphed.

.

Quote from Alice In Wonderland.

Quaker wedding certificates are a specialty.

The Lord’s Prayer custom woodburned on maple veneer and decorated with a woodburned & painted border.  Decorations around the first letters are woodburned, painted and gilded with 23k gold.

Distance is never a problem- Although I’m based in Albany NY, I’ll gladly ship calligraphy anywhere in the U.S.
