Alison explains-.

"Calligraphy started as a hobby for me in 1989.
It somehow seemed destined for me to take this up as a full-time career when my teacher Deirdre Hassed moved to Melbourne in 1993.
With the input of visiting international tutors and a continued desire to explore and develop my skills, calligraphy continues to flourish and be a fascination to me.
I enjoy a wide range of work from personal commissions to commercial lettering design.
.
.
I love the act of calligraphy- a clean white sheet of paper, the flow of ink and the scrape of your nibs and before your eyes dancing marks appear that interact with the space.
I enjoy the challenge of making words visual- the interaction of words, colour and line on a page"..
.
Alison's work has been sent to Queen Elizabeth, heads of state and government, the New Zealand All Blacks and Cricket Teams in addition to the regular corporate and celebrity design work for stationery and logos, certificates, and even proposals of marriage.
Wellington clients include the New Zealand Parliament and Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa..
