“The calligraphy world has lost an incomparable giant. It is safe to say her writing, illustration, design, and teaching have somehow touched all of us as scribes, directly or indirectly, whether we know of it or not. It is simply inconceivable that one (or more––or all!) of your sources for calligraphic tutelage or inspiration was not influenced by the long and far-reaching career and output of this extraordinary person.” ––Carol Rohrs, from Introduction by Julian Waters.
