Welcome to my graphic design and custom lettering page.

I’ll handle your illustration, design project, or logo challenge with skill and passion, and come up with something you love. That's a promise. Especially if it's calligraphy or hand lettering. You can follow me on Instagram to see all that in one place - @rutheharper. Email me at ruthpaints at gmail.

For over thirty (30) years, graphic and logo design, branding expertise, and illustrating have meshed blissfully in my creative spaces. Ever since 1985, in fact, when those lovely little sticky registration marks had to be applied to all the amberlith layers for color separation. I was the one who did the fun, tricky stuff and pressmen responded with rolled eyes.

I use a Mac and an iPad Pro (Procreate) for design planning, and then real paint and a delicious collection of inks. Hand inking and lettering is my FAVE.

Cheers! Ruth
