SYDNIE RUSSIAN
I’m Sydnie and I’m the ghoul behind Minerva’s Mark. I have been practicing the craft of modern calligraphy for 2 over years, but have recently fallen for older styles. From bold gothic scripts like fraktur to the whimsical titling and card scripts of the 1920’s & 30’s, I am always excited to learn older artforms to bring them back into the spotlight.
​
While I do have a full time job as a Project Manager, taking the time to be creative, look away from a screen and just put ink on paper helps me destress during these crazy days. As a multiple generator Gemini, if I am not busy, I am not at my best!
​
Instead of letting my artwork sit in folders around my desk, I love to be inspired by others and help them connect with and astound the people that are important in their lives, whether that be customers or distant cousins.
