Calligraphy is a slow craft. It asks for patience, attention, and a steady hand. Every commission begins with a conversation and ends with something made by me for you. I am grateful to the clients who let me bring that care into their most important moments. These are the words they have shared, and the stories behind the letters.
I have to shout out to Jagdeep Sahans today for the monogram and stationery set she created for me as a gift to my mother.
I just presented it to my mam and she’s thrilled. This meant so much more than a birthday gift. My mam is recently widowed and such a huge part of loss is adapting to a new identity, the emergence of a ‘me’ from the ashes of what has always been an ‘us’.
My mam has a lot of people she wants to write back to in the aftermath of da’s death and I’ve noticed her stalling a bit because da was the one who did the correspondence, he was the one with the cards and the stickers, it was his ‘thing’.
You should have seen her face on receiving this, she was like a child and start listing the first people she was gonna write to. Such a simple offering and yet so full of meaning.
I’m deeply grateful to you Jackie, for a perfect design and that you went above and beyond in creating a presentation box, and with such prompt turnaround.
Thank you.

I requested a challenging blend of artwork and calligraphy and Jackie delivered a beautiful piece. She provided several drafts, accommodated tedious revisions, made creative and practical suggestions and delivered against a tight deadline. Jackie is a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend her work.

Jackie was just so great to work with. From the moment I sent my request, the response was so quick and I really felt Jackie took the time to understand what I was trying to design. Plus she gave me some advice along the way to make it all work together.
The result is now a beautiful voucher that my customers will really feel delighted to give as a present and their loved ones I have no doubt will feel so excited to receive.

Jackie worked on a poem my husband wrote for our son to say at our wedding 7 years ago and I was getting it made into a poster for our wedding anniversary.
Jackie takes time to get the personal story and message about the piece before she starts the process. She gets very involved as if it was her own personal piece. It’s great to see drafts before the real finished piece. But the finished article (beautiful piece of art) will absolutely move you emotionally and the receiver of the gift if that is so.

Our choir – The Forget-Me-Nots dementia-inclusive community choir – was thrilled to commission Jagdeep to create a music themed calligraphy painting for our Musical Director, Norah Walsh. This was to celebrate her composition of a song “This Shock Flowers” which commemorated our 5th anniversary in 2019. Jagdeep got this order with very little time to complete but managed to create something truly special that is treasured by Norah. We would not hesitate to recommend Jagdeep for her creative talent, good nature, efficiency, and great value. Thank you Jagdeep and best wishes for the future from all of us!

Communication was excellent and I loved getting the photo updates of the process. The bespoke gift I commissioned is beautiful and I know it will be treasured! Thank you Jackie for your beautiful work.
