Calligraphy with Betsy M.

After spending most of my childhood dreaming about becoming an artist, I grew up, went to school, got married, had babies, and became a...(drumroll)...nurse. While nursing was fulfilling in many ways, a part of me always felt that there was something else that I should be doing. The feeling that I'm late for something that I couldn't figure out, at a place that I couldn't find. I have always enjoyed creating artistic lettering. One day, while on maternity leave, I was perusing Pinterest for beautiful calligraphy instead of doing laundry and it hit me: Calligraphy was the thing. The passion I've always had but could never put my finger on. I took the hard road, as I sometimes do, and taught myself the art of calligraphy without ever taking a class or cracking a book. It was a long, winding road but I finally ended up at my destination (or destiny) and began my own calligraphy business in 2012. Now I am happily surrounded by art supplies, lovely paper, inks and watercolors. I've traded in scrubs and lab paperwork for ink covered hands and bouncing, excited bride-to-bes and I could not be more full of joy because of it! I love every minute of working with clients to design and create beautiful, timeless details for some of the most important events in their lives. Betsy lives in NW Arkansas.
