Let’s find the joy

“Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am a calligrapher and book artist working out of my home studio in Maryland. In addition to custom work, I specialize in creating unique gifts and personal treasures, including handmade artist books and original collage pieces, focusing on uplifting, colorful, and nature inspired themes. Hand lettering on custom cut mats is always an option. I also accept larger commissions when time allows. I have studied calligraphy and the related arts for over 25 years, and also have a background in graphic design.

Please come in and stay awhile. Whether you’re interested in taking a peek at my latest creative endeavors, or you are here to simply learn more about calligraphy, design, and the related arts, you are more than welcome to return as often as you like, and comment or ask questions whenever you wish. Calligraphy is a lifelong pursuit, and lettering artists worldwide take pride in sharing our work, our experience, our ideas, and of course, our enthusiasm.

Thanks for stopping by!
