“Aside from its obvious beauty, there is something very personal about Claire’s work. Every letter in every word is afforded equal love, flair and precision. I was lucky enough to receive a card from her and I treasure it as I would a painting. If the devil is in the detail, he has parties in Claire’s calligraphy.”
