Lynn Litchfield, Calligrapher

Lynn Litchfield

Lynn is a multi-faceted artist who incorporates a love of calligraphy, learned as a child by her father’s side, and decorative eggs in honor of her Grandmother. She often combines lettering, illustration and illumination. Calligraphy is often incorporated within the imagery, using the words that describe the subject as part of the image and textures. The results are classical, evocative and unexpected.

She graduated from Southeastern Massachusetts University (now UMass Dartmouth) with BFAs in Illustration and Art Education. She studied under master calligrapher Howard Glasser. You can see some of her work at Riverside Art in the Marriette Gallery, where she is a custom framing designer.
