We Poets in Youth - Glen Epstein

An old art form that is becoming more rare, calligraphy requires patience, practice, and a steady, poetic hand.  For the artist it offers a wide choice of drawing mediums including various inks, pens, markers, and charcoal, as well as painting mediums like Gouache, watercolor, and pastel.  Eclectic and thought provoking, many pieces are embellished with drawings and other mediums.  Artists make these beautiful words, these Graceful Letters, come alive on almost any surface, from papers and vellum to 3-dimentional surfaces.
