Beth Wheeler - Calligraphy Art
“You, too, can become a calligrapher if you persevere and you
live long enough.” – Ralph Douglass
Beth Wheeler has been interested in letter forms since she was a child, doodling letter and words for hours, not even knowing that the art of calligraphy existed.
She first formally studied calligraphy in 1988 at San Juan College in Farmington, New Mexico and continues this life-long study by attending workshops at Ghost Ranch, New Mexico nearly every summer, learning from the finest calligraphers in the world. She has also studied lettering and design in England. In addition to pen and Western brush, Beth works in Chinese brush lettering and the book arts. She has been Artist-in-Residence at the Forest Service Aspen Guard Station in 2006 and at Mesa Verde in 2008.
A native of Indiana, Beth has made southwestern Colorado her home since 1983. She draws her inspiration from the natural world, traveling, and from the philosophies of different cultures. An Interpretive Ranger at Mesa Verde
National Park during the summer months, Beth lives with her husband in the Mancos Valley where they are co-owners of Custom Calligraphy and Frame.
