CALLIGRAPHY

I have been dabbling in calligraphy for thirty years, ever since I worked as a “scribe” at the Renaissance Faire in the 1990s.

Now, retired from a career as a custom picture framer, I have picked up my pen again, inspired by Asian forms such as the Enso circle and wall scroll. I use handmade papers from Nepal and Thailand to enhance my designs, and incorporate sayings from the mystics such as Rumi and Buddha as well as more witty, modern truisms.
