HI there! Thanks for stopping by!
My name is Sara Wilkes and I’m the calligrapher behind Bright Lexicon. I’ve been doing calligraphy and hand lettering since 2017. I love highlighting words that have inspired me and sharing bright, colorful art. I draw a lot of inspiration from the books I read and music I listen to. I think art can inspire and encourage and help us all on our journeys in life. Words, in particular, can illuminate things about ourselves and others around us.
A huge part of my practice is making goals and projects for myself. I’ve completed several year-long art projects including a year of making art every day, the Year of Beautiful Writing, and Sara Reads and Letters - lettering a quote from every book I read in 2021. I also love sending mail art and I have a monthly art exchange with a fellow lettering artist that we’ve been doing since 2018.
I love trying new things and learning new skills, though you’ll probably find I gravitate most toward pointed pen and brush lettering. I hope you’ll stick around to see what I’m up to. And if you have any calligraphy needs, feel free to contact me!
