Dear Hiring Manager:

I am a talented Art professional with extraordinary skills and talents in the areas of Calligraphy and Art Instruction, as well as a strong creative flair. I am highly trained, and have a strong background in freelance calligraphic design as well as directing workshops and classes in many areas of the fine arts. I am presently responsible for the Trident Booksellers and Cafe shop in Boston, but am looking to increase my involvement in artistic endeavors.

I have been involved in the art world for more than 25 years, both as and artist and as an instructor. I have designed and created a wide variety of calligraphy-related items on a freelance and contract basis. Some of these include letterhead, business cards, wedding invitations, diplomas, corporate certificates, and personalized gifts. In the fine arts I have instructed students from grades K through 12, and am presently certified to teach art in the state of Massachusetts. I have also conducted workshops and given private lessons in both calligraphy and fine arts.

My work with businesses has included designing store layouts, arranging decorating schemes, and creating all signage. I also have many years of experience in reviewing and selecting artwork for shows, displays, and hangings. Throughout my career I have tried to instill among my students and customers my feelings for how art is more than just a medium, it is an expression of emotion and can provide people with a better understanding of themselves and their world.

The accompanying résumé can serve to provide you with greater details of my areas of expertise, and what I have to offer.

I will call your office in a few days to inquire about the possibility of a meeting.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Name Here
