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.
Juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and the New Hampshire Art Association.
