Jane Knights
I am an artist and calligrapher, and as a child always had pen and paper in my hand. My art teacher encouraged me to apply for art college and as I result I studied Fashion Design. Since moving to Norfolk in 1991 and joining Norfolk Scribes, my love of lettering art has been rekindled. My passion for paper, interest in poetry and love of design inspires me to explore the visual relationship between words, pattern and colour.
The traditional aspects of calligraphy form a solid base for what now excites me even more: I am invigorated by its modern progression! Using a variety of media and writing tools, I have developed my own style, having worked with, and been inspired by calligraphers from Europe and beyond.
I hope that as a member of the Norfolk and Norwich Art Circle, and by exhibiting my work, calligraphy can be more widely appreciated as an art form.
Whilst I work mainly for my own pleasure, I am happy to take on commissions both large and small.
I am Chairman of Norfolk Scribes, see us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/norfolkscribes and have exhibited with them on many occasions. I am also a member of The Society of Scribes and Illuminators (SSI), and The Calligraphy and Lettering Arts Society (CLAS).
