About Me

I am a University of Kansas graduate and an avid Jayhawks fan living in McKinney, Texas.  I am married to my college sweetheart and have two beautiful boys, two equally beautiful daughter-in-law's and a precious grand baby girl.

​

I've always had a love of lettering and artsy things, but it was during my oldest son's engagement that I was first exposed to calligraphy and the world of custom wedding stationery.  

​

I was captivated with the beauty and grace of our names dancing across that envelope and decided then and there that I would pursue learning that skill so I could address my younger son's wedding invitations when he got engaged. 

​

The almost ancient quality of calligraphy, writing by hand, dipping my pen in ink and carefully forming each stroke with intention and precision; it brings me such peace and joy. I fell forever in love.

​

Several years, classes, and hours upon hours of practice later, I did calligraphy my son and his bride's envelopes.  I also designed their invitation suite, their programs, menus, place cards, seating chart and table numbers.  It was so fulfilling and such a thrill for me.  

​

Out of a love for calligraphy, Crescent Moon has blossomed and branched out to invitation design, home and venue portraits, and custom commissions.  I am honored and humbled to be able to do what I love and create unique and special things for my clients. 

​

When I am not writing, drawing or painting, I might be decorating my home, taking a walk through my beloved neighborhood in downtown McKinney, reading a good book or watching a football, basketball or hockey game!  And most likely a very creamy cup of coffee or a cocktail is involved!
