My Art Career

This is the third in a series of small books.  I must be feeling nostalgic lately because I came across this  little book I made at a Calligraphy Conference with Lisa Englebrecht.  She is a wonderful calligrapher and canvas artist.  This is a small picture of my career as an artist.

    Hi Jan. Love the small book, love the story, and love the quote at the end. It leaves quite an impact. When I was a young kid, an art teacher was teaching the Roman Hand in Calligraphy and told me I would "never" be a Calligrapher. What an awful thing for a teacher to do. As an adult, I've taken several Calligraphy classes, and I struggle with the thought of "not being good enough". It's a battle, and I keep reminding myself that I need to accept where I am in my Calligraphy journey and keep learning. Thanks so much for sharing your heart through your art. Linda E.

      Thank you so much Linda E! We all did not start out as either polished artists or polished calligraphers. It is a journey for sure and you just keep at it. I appreciate your support and comments so much!

    Your story is very moving and powerful, Jan. It is amazing to me, having the vantage point that I do, that your artistic beginnings were anything but supported. God has taken the "nevers" and "no's" and turned them into "YES!"
