The Calligraphic Artwork
All pieces displayed in the galleries of this site were created by hand lettering, not by computer. The artwork is available for purchase through various options. You can download (high and low resolution) digital images or get the high resolution images as physical photo prints with or without matting. Depending on the size of the original calligraphy piece, some pieces may be ordered in a variety of sizes. All calligraphy has been carefully reproduced using only quality materials with strict attention to detail. Whether seen on smartphone, monitor, or as frame-ready print delivered by US mail, here at IWCGallery.com, with a few clicks, you can inspire others through God's word.
*All respective Bible translations' permissions have been obtained and are appropriately documented.
Why I do what I do...
My desire is to share God's word and to glorify Him through my calligraphy. I came to know Jesus as my Savior and Lord when I was 11. My church faithfully taught the Bible and as I have read and studied it over the years, it has changed my life. I am committed to sharing the timeless wisdom and beauty of God's Word with everyone.
My passion for calligraphy started at a young age when a Sunday School teacher at my church did beautiful lettering for each week's lesson. My interest continued to grow in middle school when my history teacher also did beautiful lettering and wrote out alphabets for me to copy. I bought my first pen and ink set when I was 12 and have been hooked ever since! In the years following, I joined a guild and have studied calligraphy under numerous calligraphers, taking a year-long intensive class and participating in several week-long conferences.
The pieces I do are primarily done in six styles (hands) of calligraphy: Italic, Foundational, Uncials, Roman Capitals, Gothic and Copperplate. The calligraphy and artwork in all of my pieces are done by hand, without use of a computer. This is rapidly becoming a lost art.
If you are with a church, school organization or group that is looking to purchase several pieces from Inspired Word Calligraphy, please contact us (see the "Contact and I will see if a special volume discount can be arranged. Please go to the "Contact" page of this website for more information.
Thank you for visiting the site and I hope that you enjoy seeing God's Word expressed through my calligraphy.
