History

Established in 1982.

Calligraphy is the art of beautiful writing, and your special day or event deserves the best presentation possible. I work with brides and their families, wedding and event coordinators, educators and state licensing agencies who understand that these once-​in-​a-​lifetime events are uniquely suited to calligraphy. What we calligraphers provide is a customized, beautiful, gracious expression, honoring those who attend your event, as well as those for whom the event is taking place. Needless to say, my handwriting is beautiful, and a less-​expensive alternative to formal calligraphy.

I work closely with other members of Capital City Scribes, the local calligraphy guild. We often refer work if we are too busy; it’s a good idea to choose your calligrapher months ahead of ordering your invitations. We often have to disappoint a prospective client, because so many people don’t think about allowing the time it takes to create each envelope as a work of art.

Business Owner

I’ve always been interested in art and creative expression, and have learned about calligraphy, painting and design through classes and workshops over the years. I worked as a special ed teacher for elementary children until I had our daughter in 1982, at which point I started doing calligraphy as a stay-​at-​home mom. It’s been great to work from my home, and my clientele of happy brides, their moms (and sometimes their grooms) always makes my work a pleasure.
