From Silly to Soulful: Quotes to Smile, Reflect, and Feel

This is a collection of quotes I’ve gathering—each one chosen to spark a feeling.
I want to shape them through expressive calligraphy, turning simple words into moments of reflection on paper, wood, fabric—whatever surface calls.
My hope is to inspire you to pause, smile, feel nostalgia, or simply connect with yourself in the present. Enjoy!

About Artist

I'M MARY PAVLOVA

I’m a calligraphy and lettering artist, a bit obsessed with hidden meanings, and totally in love with visual storytelling.

I turn words into art, letters into emotion, and spaces into stories—blending bold strokes with delicate details.

My passion? Helping people surround themselves with art that feels personal, meaningful, and beautifully imperfect. Whether it’s a custom piece, a thoughtful gift, or something to make your home feel more like you, I’m here for it.
