Barbara Bellissimo,
Martha’s Vineyard Calligrapher

“I make special occasions even more special through modern custom calligraphy. Invitations, place cards, menus—putting pen to paper is my passion.”

Barbara Bellissimo

I’ve always been creative—knitting, drawing, art journaling, and more. At the beginning of the pandemic, writing words became my outlet. A different word every day, in a different style. The boundaries of the letters felt great and much-needed when everything else was up in the air. The Quarantine Word of the Day project kept me sane. I made words for myself, for my family, and for my friends.

Now I’d like to make some for you.
