5 out of 5 starsAmy was absolutely wonderful to work with. I would not hesitate to use her again if I ever need a calligrapher. I had a very specific idea of what I wanted for our ketubah, and she was incredibly patient with me, despite the months-long process and my anxiety about ordering something sight-unseen. The ketubah itself was just exquisite, the lettering divine, on the most gorgeous thick and creamy paper with deckled edges. Many people told us at the wedding that it was the most beautiful ketubah they had ever seen. We are so thrilled with it and can't wait to have it framed - it's going to be a permanent fixture in our home, which we will proudly display. Thank you, Amy!

5 out of 5 starsThe place cards are such a beautiful addition to any wedding or rehearsal dinner! We were blown away at how beautiful the handwriting was and the quality of the place cards. The seller always responded very quick and had excellent customer service! We liked the product so much that we're having her do our wedding place cards as well! I highly recommend using this shop for your wedding place card needs!! You won't regret it!

5 out of 5 starsI placed an order for a song quote to hang on my kitchen wall, and I could not have asked for a better product or better seller. I get compliments every time someone is in my kitchen!

A flourishing creative outlet comes from a skill that so many think is tedious
Most people I talk to are quite curious that someone would be a professional calligrapher. It is, after all, the profession of Monks. However, the quiet repetition that is inherent in learning calligraphy gives me so much joy -- seeing the beauty of the words and images that flow from my pen.
As I've refined my skill over the years, I've learned that the more disciplined I am in my practice, the more freedom I have in creative expression. This is an apparent contradiction; however, I have to train my hand the way an athlete or a dancer would train their body so that I can be satisfied with my work.
This shines through my custom work for my clients, and my personal art projects. Over the past decade, I have been fortunate to see my work featured by Martha Stewart's "Bride's Guide" blog and on display at the Wally Workman Gallery, the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and Austin Public Libraries.
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."
(Ecclesiastes 9:10)
