My love of calligraphy was born out a crazy overwhelming season in my life.
I was stuck in a job that was sucking the life out of me, I had a newborn and a two year old that needed all my attention, and my hubby and I felt completely hopeless facing all of the student debt we racked up.
I said yes to way too much and didn’t leave any margin to take care of myself.
When I stumbled upon calligraphy, I was instantly intrigued and found myself practicing all the time.
I loved how it really forced me to slow down and be intentional with each stroke of my pen or paintbrush. Plus I was cranking out all sorts of beautiful things! I just couldn’t stop!
Because I had found something fun and simple, creating white space and nurturing my creative spirit became easier and something I looked forward to!
As my life began to calm down a bit, I thought ‘what if I could create a space for women to step out of their hustle and overwhelm and come learn this new life-giving art form that I’ve found so much joy and creative fulfillment in?’
I’ve been teaching in-person workshops ever since and find so much joy in sharing what I love to do with other women!
