| Debbie Worden was a Registered Dental Hygienist for 20 years prior to beginning her career in art. After retiring from the health care field, she began taking classes in calligraphy in 2002. It was a perfect fit, combining two decades of fine motor skills with an eye for art. She joined Kaligrafos, The Dallas Calligraphy Society and became an active member and workshop junkie. In 2005, Debbie attended her first international lettering conference. In 2007, she completed an intensive year-long course taught by renowned calligrapher Reggie Ezell and in 2011 studied under Chief White House Calligrapher Pat Blair. She is also a member of IAMPETH, The International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting. Debbie continues to learn and grow and loves to challenge herself with new techniques in collage, bookmaking and mixed media as well as calligraphy. Besides wedding and social calligraphy, she loves creating original calligraphy art as well as handmade books. Please visit our Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 pages to view samples of all. Over the years, Debbie has had the privilege of studying under many nationally and internationally recognized calligraphers and artists.
