 ABOUT GREYLILY

I will never forget the day my mother gave me my first fountain pen as a 

ten-year old. It sparked an interest that stayed with me throughout my 

life. I’ve had a love for writing for as long as I can remember, and was 

always fascinated with how beautifully my grandmother wrote. As I got 

older, I realized the older generations had been taught penmanship- 

based on a form of calligraphy. 

My interest in writing never waned, nor my love of the arts. I took 

several art classes in high school and college, but went in the direction of 

science in college, & graduated with a Bachelor of Science in 

Criminology. After graduation and starting a family, my interest in 

calligraphy re-awakened. I began researching the foundations of writing 

itself, then the history of calligraphy (meaning “beautiful writing”), and 

that led me to take courses in calligraphy. Several years later, I am still 

researching and learning and practicing this beautiful art form while 

raising my two beautiful children, Grey and Lily in our beautiful hills of 

east Tennessee. I want to instill in them what it is to pursue your dreams, 

to never forget the true love of what is in their hearts…
