Julia Fish Thompson won a handwriting award in elementary school, took her first calligraphy class at age 13, and majored in design at Brigham Young University. She letters on anything that will hold still—paper, board, walls, metal, glass, canvas, fabric, various objects--and has maintained a home studio since her teens. She continues to study with amazing calligraphers around the world. The challenge of executing involved, hand-lettered pieces has exhilarated Julia for years and she loves to create custom works commemorating events or personalized for families or businesses. Julia and her husband David reside in Zionsville, Indiana where they recently finished raising four children. Julia met Liz Lemon Swindle at a community nativity event where they were guest artists and Liz invited her to join with other Havenlight artists, a true honor, especially for a calligrapher.
