Hello, I'm Cheryn (also known as Merwenna)! I do a lot of calligraphy and illumination-related art, especially for the Society for Creative Anachronism to be used as awards - most of what you see in my gallery are award "scrolls".
Several of my pieces are done with historically accurate ground pigments and animal skin parchment, though I most frequently use gouache on pergamenata. I also enjoy combining medieval aesthetics with modern subjects just for kicks! I've dipped my toe into bookbinding and panel painting, I enjoy painting unexpected accessory items like parasols and wooden chests every now and again, and I am currently learning more about paleography and manuscript conservation.
I'm from the US but am currently living in Budapest - also trying (and failing) to learn Hungarian! I do take commissions, so don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. :)
