Judy Dodds
For Judy, 1980 was a pivotal year. Donald Jackson, calligrapher to the queen of England, was speaking to the Colleagues of Calligraphy. Judy attended with a friend and realized others also had a love of letters, letter forms, words and design. She immediately began studying and opened Penscriptions studio in 1984. She has continued to study extensively, attend national conventions and teach and serve actively in her local guild, Colleagues of Calligraphy.
“My fascination with the power of ‘thoughts made visible’ and the mystery of the word as a vehicle of communication has led me on a wonderful journey of exploration and discovery.”

Judy’s work has been published and exhibited throughout the United States. Her framed work and books are owned by individuals, businesses, universities and churches.

Judy lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
