Workshops, Classes, and
Special Events
One of the greatest joys of my work is sharing the art of calligraphy and creative expression with others. Whether teaching beginners their first letterforms or guiding experienced artists toward new creative discoveries, I believe learning should be inspiring, engaging, and deeply personal.
I present workshops, lectures, demonstrations, and immersive creative experiences for organizations throughout the United States and internationally. Every program is tailored to the audience, creating meaningful experiences that combine artistic excellence with hands-on exploration.

Calligraphy as Visual Poetry
Create a captivating piece of art by combining calligraphy with various techniques, such as layering and color washes. This project will allow you to apply everything you've learned throughout the course and express
your unique artistic voice.
Using your preferred text, you'll explore the process of selecting and deconstructing texts to create an abstract piece infused with meaning. With my guidance, you'll bring together calligraphy, abstract marks, and treatments to enhance your artwork and create a visually powerful message.
