I am an Artist/calligrapher (penman) who began HOUSE PORTRAITS AND CALLIGRAPHY out of Kalamazoo, MICH, USA area.

I learned calligraphy as an art major at Western Michigan University, back 1976. I've developed myself since 2011 to present, by learning the “Spencerian” cursive hand.

I am coming from a medical background, having served in Drs' offices, hospitals for 23 years, including living a year overseas in Haiti, the Caribbean.

Now I do Spencerian script for brides and graduates, as well as into placemats for farmers markets.
