HANDLETTERED MODERN CALLIGRAPHY

ABOUT ME

 

Hi and welcome to my portfolio!

 

I’m Natasha, and I am a professional calligraphy artist in the small town of La Grange, Kentucky, near Louisville. My specialty is Modern Pointed-Pen Calligraphy, which, unlike copperplate or other historic scripts, allows and celebrates variety and personality. It is the perfect flexible flourish to your special occasion.  

 

Beyond the beauty of black ink on white paper, I love working with colored inks and papers, creative design layouts and illustration details. Selected in combination, these elements can bring an artisanal, personalized elegance to each of your events and projects. 

 

Calligraphy, to me, is a visual form of music, full of poetic flow and endless variation. My academic background–a PhD studying music as a window into the cultures of Eurasia–deeply informs my interest and understanding of the lettering arts and is the inspiration behind my ink studio’s name.
