A Penwoman’s Purpose
I am a firm believer that words are the most powerful form of communication: how you use them, arrange them , speak them in tone & how you write the words deliver value, importance & impact.
My intention is to push & pull my nibs, brushes & unconventional writing tools into alluring letters that deliver the message within to evoke emotion.
The word is only silent until your brain transcribes the depth & sound as you eye each letter, reading each word. Until my nib strikes the blank page , leaves a mark & the written word flows & moves across the page does the white noise of lettering become louder .
My purpose is to give expression to silent words & to make them sing, shout & dance.
Those silent words I want to give them a life of expression, to glide & flourish, explore & design new formations & shout words & letters with intention into abstract, traditional & gestural form.
To give your words & letters, and mine; a beauty, a magesty, a graceful enchantment of value & tone on the page or canvas. To deliver that power & expression so that words can fly with rhythm & movement, move you & deliver their power to make you feel something with connection.
To keep the art of writing alive as an art form.
That, is this penwoman’s purpose.
