A CALLIGRAPHER'S QUEST
by Lisa Engelbrecht
She wanted to remember her mother in a special way, so this artist chose her favorite medium: calligraphy. Instead of making letters on paper, however, Lisa Engelbrecht painted them on fabric, creating a one-ofa- kind tribute for a mother she lost years ago. See her calligraphy on canvas on page 72.
