Hi everyone, my name is Elena (Prikhodko) Knapp and I am a calligrapher /artist. I am an active member of IAMPETH (International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting) and of a local Calligraphy Guild called Capital City Scribes (Austin Texas). I grew up in Russia and before moving to USA lived in Middle East (UAE Dubai) for 14 years. I live now in Austin Texas with my always supportive husband Chris and our dog Olive. I have always been creative and loved the arts. I began to paint sometimes in 2005. I started lettering and Calligraphy in 2010, when I moved to Austin. I take every opportunity to learn from masters. I have been fortunate enough to study with Masters Penmen Michael Sull, Harvest Crittendon, Rosemary Buczek and many other amazingly talented artists and teachers. Beside my love to calligraphy I do watercolors and mix media and my artwork has been shown throughout various venues of Texas, and been represented in a number of private collections world wide including USA, Canada, Australia, Europe, Russia and MIddle East. I m always interested in oportunities to show my art, to collaborate with other creative minds. I m very interested in licensing my work and work on pattern designs.
