Holly Monroe

In 1974, I began my journey as the third generation calligrapher in my family.  My background stems from the Zanerian College of Penmanship where my father and grandfather studied. After studying with prominent American & British lettering artists worldwide, my custom calligraphy grew in its diversity, attracting both traditional and contemporary commissions for personal, commercial, corporate, university, church, greeting card & gift markets.

For 38 years, my calligraphy studio prospered in Cincinnati, Ohio but is now situated in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Distance is no object as I work with clients nationally and internationally. My motivation, “to feed the soul by making meaningful words beautiful” spurs me on to design inspirational texts with flourishes, florals, illustrations and colorful hand lettering, specializing with 23k gold leaf and calfskin. You might enjoy my website shop where I offer a line of creative reproductions available for purchase. Visit my studio by appointment.
