Welcome and bienvenue!
 

Hi, I’m Vanessa, the owner of this little shop. If you know me, I love to experiment and meander so this shop and list of services reflects a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

What ties them all together is a love of calligraphy, verse and prose, and milestone seasons in life. I’ve had a few of those: getting married, the struggles of a first career (en français!), the challenges of of trying to have children and then eventually having two under 3 by the grace of God. I don’t know what’s coming next, but when I look back on the pieces I’ve made during those times, whether bitter or sweet, I’m thankful. That’s my hope for you too as you consider creating a custom piece for yourself or a loved one.

Watercolour calligraphy is my favourite - it’s low-key, takes time to learn and understand, and it’s always slightly unpredictable. A lot like me!

I look forward to hearing from you!
