Gold Leaf Calligraphy


Jade Yurick
Jade Yurick, Creator of Gold Leaf Calligraphy “I draw inspiration from love stories I hear from the newly engaged and seasoned married couples. Having eloped myself, I enjoy celebrating unique stories and providing reminders of a cherished love. I don’t have many keepsakes from my wedding day so I want to help others remember their special day with custom lettering and watercolor designs. I use their story to influence my artistic elements and fashion a glimpse into happily ever after. In a digital era, a piece of paper is a throwback to when each piece was handled with care and devotion. Just as each love is filled with little imperfections, so is a handmade piece of art.” Jade Yurick was born on an Army Base in California and traveled the world. She followed her heart to Ohio in 2004. Where she now lives with her husband, two children and her dog, Spike. She has taken Fine Arts classes from the University of Akron but continues her studies self-taught in Graphic Design and Calligraphy. She uses traditional dip pen and ink for her Copperplate and Modern Calligraphy.

What inspired you to make this project?
I have always had a passion for graphic design and lettering but it was my Best Friends’ Wedding that really helped me see what I could do. Supporting her but creating a wedding invitation and calligraphy gave me my ah-ha moment. I truly enjoy being a part of a special day like a wedding and contributing something to celebrate love.
