I am an architect and I learned Calligraphy in school. Becoming a member of the WA Calligraphers' Guild revived this skill and I extended my interest in lettering into cutout forms and folded card structures. I have contributed several articles to the American magazine Bound & Lettered and have learned from visiting Calligraphers from the US and UK. My works have been sold at the Between the Sheets book exhibition which takes place every two years and is at the TAFE gallery in Perth again this August.
