Lona is a calligrapher based in the South Bay region of Los Angeles, CA.
After attending her first calligraphy workshop in 2019, Lona’s interest in letters and hand writing was ignited. The following year, she exited her tax career in order to pursue a creative life. She took classes and studied as if there was not a day to be lost. At present, she plays in her home studio, makes greeting cards for her local flower shop, and contracts with the County of Los Angeles as a scroll calligrapher. Much of her inspiration comes from her teachers - both in art and in life, as well as her personal journey with inner work and spirituality.
When she's not playing with nibs at her desk or volunteering with the Society for Calligraphy, she enjoys yoga, the outdoors, and traveling. Lona grew up in New York City but opted for the perpetual sunshine of southern California on and off since 2002. She now lives in the South Bay with her husband and two - no, three! cats, Goni, Willi, and Jeffy.
