EDUCATION
B.A. Education from Pacific Lutheran University
Member of Colleagues of Calligraphy, since 1980, a fantastic group of people and resources for appreciating, enjoying, learning and applying calligraphy. In 1980 I attended a meeting in Colleagues meeting in St. Paul. Donald Jackson, calligrapher to the queen of England, was speaking. I realized my love of letters, letterforms, words and art (which began when I was an elementary student), was also shared by many others. I have taken many classes through the Colleagues, either with instructors they bring in or at national conventions. I have taught classes, served on the board and was librarian of their extensive collection for many years.
Calligraphy Instructors include: Donald Jackson, Sheila Waters, Denis Brown, Marsha Brady, Annie Cicale, Holly Monroe, Jean Forno, Carl Rohrs, Valerie Weilmuenster, Peter Thornton, Alan Blackman, Timothy Botts, Laurie Doctor, Thomas Ingmire, Diane Von Arx Anderson, Charles Pierce, Victoria Pitman, Fran Strom, John Stevens, Mark VanStone, Connie Furgason, Carol Palleson, Dennis Ruud
