Christine Kirby Studios is a boutique, bespoke watercolor and calligraphy stationery studios, located in Winter Garden, just outside of Orlando, Florida.  CK Studios is here for your stationery needs; from lifestyle cards to wedding stationery.  While Christine Kirby Studios opened in 2020, I owned and operated Carousel Atelier Calligraphy, established in 2015.

​

I have been a life-long artist - I even say that art is in my DNA!  I took my passion to college when I majored in interior design.  I have been practicing professionally (commercial and residential design)  since my graduation in 2007. 

​

When the housing market popped in 2008, my office life as an interior designer came to an end.  No one was traveling so hotel designers, like myself, were laid off.  Knowing that it's a sink-or-swim moment, I opted to re-market myself and landed a job as a contracts administrator.  It's one of those left-brain/right-brain switches.  Here I was, a creative mind in something pretty far from creative. 

​

Knowing that my life was missing that creative piece, in 2015 I opened Carousel Atelier Calligraphy.  I was able to become an active designer in the local Orlando wedding industry.  I recently decided to expand my brand out a bit to encompass a wider range of stationery and include my love of watercolor.

​

I am working toward being able to license my artwork and to be featured in blogs and magazines.
