Meet Earl Tawny
Missouri Live Events Calligrapher, Engraver, Watercolor Artist, Jesus-lover, Wife + Boy Mama
Hi! It’s wonderful to meet you!
I am the proud owner and the hand behind the works of The Tawny Canvas.
I’m a medical laboratory scientist by day and a creative by night and on most weekends. Besides all things art, I enjoy personal finance (yes, I am a big spreadsheet and budget nerd), real crime shows, hiking (or anything outdoorsy), DIY home renovations and hanging out with friends and my little family.
My journey as a calligrapher all started way back in 2014, in a little boba tea shop, with my newly bought dotted notebook and a black permanent marker. This hobby-turned-business has brought a lot of joy and purpose into my life and it has paved way into achieving my American dream. Calligraphy is more than just beautiful handwriting, it is being fully present and intentional. It is a form of self care, a time to slow down, focus and breathe.
It is my ultimate goal to work with YOU, bring your brightest ideas to surface and help you elevate your experience, may it be through an on-site event, a calligraphy workshop, a well-thought present or your most awaited wedding day.
I can’t wait to connect with you for your next event or project and create that memorable experience!
xoxo, Tawny
Past Collaborators and Clients
What people are saying…
“We had our wedding invitations designed by Earl. I only had to show her a sample design off the internet, and she was able to produce something far better, and customized to our liking. She was also very easy to work with, responsive to messages, and delivered promptly. She prepare a wedding monogram as well, even without me having to say anything. I have no hesitations of working with her again, if the need arises. Quality work, great work ethics!” — Jona T.
“I’ve worked with Earl since she started her calligraphy career. She is very detail oriented, tailor fits her workshop to the needs of her students/ participants, and is very approachable. She always gives her 101% in every project whether it be making her merch, wedding invites, teaching classes for kids or adults, etc.
What I really like working with her is that she is open to suggestions and criticisms and is always open to work with other crafters/ artists. Also, she constantly works and finds ways to improve her craft.” — Lynlyn B.
“Earl’s excitement and passion for the creativity and arts is contagious. Her willingness and consistency to show up and share her skills and time is always inspiring. It shows in every art she creates and every art student she inspires and artists she collaborates with. Keep going, Earlaluuu! We’re rooting for you all the way from the Philippines!” — Maymay B.
