Adele Sanborn
Adele Sanborn is a calligrapher who combines her love of mixed media, watercolors,
and photography into messages from her spirit. She works at the Paint Box, her studio nestled on a quiet lake in Webster, New Hampshire. Surrounded by the natural world she loves, the expansive studio gives her the space and quietude to create and explore new and diverse ideas in the craft of ink, paper, and photography.
Adele selects quotes and lives within the words to observe what evolves. She then uses letters to create designs that take flight in a rainbow of colors. Sanborn says, “I like to transform the written dimension into lettering art and then accent the verse with watercolors, my own photos, or natural found objects.” Adele continually experiments with the latest technology in combination with the broad point pen, a traditional calligraphy tool.
She has dedicated over 30 years to the fine art of lettering and is a juried member of the NH Art Association and the League of NH Craftsmen. She exhibits throughout the New England area. Currently Adele lives with her husband and two sons in southern New Hampshire.
