I began my career as a commercial lettering artist in 1989 after a 2-year apprenticeship with internationally known penman Raphael Boguslav. After perfecting my hand, I developed a thriving calligraphy business in Newport, RI designing invitations, menus and seating scrolls.

My lifelong interest in illustration led to work in Natural Science Illustration at RISD and since then I have added botanicals to many of my pieces. My custom maps have become known for their uniqueness in both lettering and drawing style.

I am a Boston resident and retired from full time work in dentistry, now enjoying visual arts of watercolors, pastels, and calligraphy. I love creating, whether it’s a unique family project, a Quaker Witness page, poems or invitational/envelope work. I live in Hyde Park and welcome questions or inquiries. Text or call my cell phone with your calligraphy needs.
