CALLIGRAPHY & ILLUMINATION

Leigh English      •      Lettering and watercolor artist    •     A fine New Hampshire hand

      Fueled by a love of the written word, a fascination with                                             

early illuminated manuscripts and a passion for the beauty of

the natural world, my work has been a joyful, ongoing

journey of discovery.

     Thirty-five years ago, I began to explore the lettering arts

as an expressive medium, and the captivating elegance and

versatility of letterforms quickly became the focal point of my

work.  I offer custom calligraphy and design for all traditional

uses, including - but not limited to - invitations, certificates,

diplomas, business cards and honorary resolutions, as well as

my award-winning specialty; one-of-a-kind works of art that

combine layers of hand-lettered text, traditional 14th-century gilding, and minutely detailed watercolor miniatures.
