Virginia Hart

Virginia Lucas Hart is a calligrapher and illustrator based in Charlottesville, VA. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in English and Studio Art from the University of Virginia in 2007 and continued her education in NYC at the School of Visual Arts and Parsons School of Design.

Always enchanted by the art of handwriting, Virginia began studying pointed-pen calligraphy in a variety of classes and workshops in 2010, honing her skills throughout many late nights of practice. Virginia joined Bella Figura’s team of calligraphers in 2017, the same year Ulysses Press published her 128-page book, “Fun and Friendly Calligraphy for Kids.” In 2019, Virginia and her husband returned to Charlottesville, where they now live with their two little girls.

Virginia’s work has been featured in issues of BRIDES and Flutter Magazines, on The Today Show, and in several online publications including Oh So Beautiful Paper and VOGUE’s Over the Moon.
