Business Name:
Cornerstone Design at the Paint Box

Adele Sanborn is a self-taught folk artist who combines her love of calligraphy, watercolors, and photography into messages from her spirit. She works at the Paint Box, her studio nestled on a quiet lake in Webster, New Hampshire. Adele selects quotes and lives within the words to observe what evolves. She then uses letters to create designs that take flight in a rainbow of colors. Sanborn says, “I like to transform the written dimension into lettering art and then accent the verse with watercolors, my own photos, or natural found objects.
