Artist Statement:
Seems as though I have always
had drawing materials of one
sort or another in my hand
since I could hold one. Then
came the paint brushes, and
the tinier the better. Then
came the calligraphy pens.
Haven't put them down since.
I have taught calligraphy and
illumination, as well ceramic
painting. But, I prefer to do,
rather than teach. (sorry, G B
Shaw). In the U.K. I studied
the aplication of gold leaf.
Until recently, my illuminated
manuscripts were done as
commissions only, but now with
existing technology, one can
duplicate one's work at home
with the marvelous printers
and acid free papers available
for the purpose--giving the
artist 100% control over the
finished product.
Endeavouring to keep up with
the times, I now use
professional graphics programs
to manipulate my work, but I
always begin with hand
lettered calligraphy and my
own paintings...
