I was born and grew up in North Wales. Now
I live in the beautiful countryside
of western Massachusetts.
I am a member of Northampton Monthly Meeting (New England Yearly Meeting)
When my partner and I were looking for a calligrapher to create a marriage
certificate for us, I was fortunate enough to find Suzanne Moore. Suzanne
created a beautiful
document for us, and I found that she not only lived near me, but also gave
classes in calligraphy locally. I studied with Suzanne Moore for several
years.
After a while, I began to create marriage certificates
for members of my own Meeting. Over the years, I have worked with couples
all over the country,
some Quakers, some not. I have enjoyed meeting them all, whether in person
or by phone or by e-mail. It is a joy to work with people at such a happy time
in their lives.
I have also developed the idea of the “naming
document.” This
is a document which I design in consultation with the parent/s of a newborn
child. This document, like the marriage certificate, can include the signatures
of
family
and friends.
