Introduction
Originally art trained and having worked for the SPAB (Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings), sharing the same passion as its founder William Morris. I am happiest utilising my calligraphy executing illustrated histories of buildings. I also believe a good hand-painted quotation can do much to enhance the walls of buildings of any age. The time consuming nature of calligraphy makes a love of language almost essential. This love I have and so the making of personal books in varying froms is another rewarding outlet for my craft.
