Artist Jenny Highsmith teaches middle-grade girls the exquisite art of hand lettering, giving them a confidence-building creative outlet and drawing them closer to God.
Cursive writing offers many benefits to young minds, such as improved cognitive abilities and fine motor skills.
However, in an era dominated by digital communication and keyboard proficiency, it is quickly becoming an obsolete skill for most students.
Artist Jenny Highsmith wants girls to know that even if they don’t consider themselves to be naturally gifted, they can learn how to hand letter. She will show them how to get started by selecting the right supplies and setting up their workspaces. Next, Jenny gives step-by-step instructions showing girls basic techniques with space in the book to practice.
After girls have acquired this new skill, they will learn how they can use it to commit God’s Word to memory by hand lettering Scripture verses. Amid the instruction, Jenny shares short devotions to help girls grow in their Christian walk.
Hand lettering is also a great hobby for mothers and daughters to do together. Check out Jenny’s Hand Lettering God’s Word (for adults) wherever books are sold.

Jenny is an oil painter, hand lettering artist & author.
What started out as a simple project to decorate the walls of her small newlywed apartment led to Jenny’s life-changing realization that she could combine her love of creating art and her passion for helping others know their God-given value and worth. Soon after, Jenny opened a small online shop selling prints that has grown and evolved into a career and a calling.
Jenny graduated from Berry College in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts in visual communication and a minor in psychology. Her first book, Hand Lettering God’s Word, encourages others to discover their own creativity learning hand lettering while they meditate on God’s Word. Her second book, Every Day New, reminds you of God’s faithfulness through 30 days of devotions and paintings.
When she is not in her studio, she can be found running around outside with her three young kids, Rowan, Conor, and Julianna, planning DIY projects with her husband, Drew, or spending time grabbing coffee with friends. Jenny and her family live near Atlanta, Georgia.
