Exquisite Chalkboard Inspirational Calligraphy by Valerie McKeehan

Hand letterer and illustrator Valerie McKeehan is behind the charming chalkboard boutique Lily & Val, where she offers a range of stunning chalkboard creations since 2012. The handmade calligraphy melds the world of art, home decor, cooking and other wholesome charms with a series of romantic and inspirational literary quotes.

Meticulously hand drawn, with no digital alterations, McKeehan’s designs contain a vintage, homey sensibility. Although chalk is a difficult and fragile tool to work with, the artist loves to compose with the playful instrument because it provides a nostalgic effect. The “dustiness” and texture chalk makes the artwork feel rustic, intimate, yet refined.

Inspired by retro patterns, florals, atmospheric and indie coffee shops and spaces, each piece holds a delightful and cozy appeal. You can find her collection in her Etsy shop.

There are two reasons why people don’t talk about things; either it doesn’t mean anything to them, or it means everything.

I would have written you, myself, if I could put down in words everything I want to say to you. A sea of ink would not be enough. But you built me dreams instead.
