Family Trees
Family Trees are perhaps the most challenging of all pieces to design as each one is completely unique in its content.
I enjoy tackling a large-scale project and it is a pleasure to work through details with the client, either in person or by email and phone.
Extra pieces of information can provide interesting and attractive additions.

"We all think it's beautifully done and we really love it" Ms S.M., Perugia, Italy
“A true artist and a joy to work with, Angela showed amazing patience and perseverance throughout this very personal project which was of huge importance to me and my family. Her magnificent piece of work conveys a wealth of information which is brought to life with her beautiful illustrations. I remain truly grateful to her for all she has done and her work speaks for itself” . Mr R.G.M., Chepstow.

“Angela produced a beautiful family tree which is a work of art as well as easy to understand. Her willingness and enthusiasm to get it right made the whole process a pleasure.
Work in progress reviews at key stages allowed her to receive and make suggestions which improved the shape, clarity and accuracy and left us at all times happy it was our tree saying what we wanted it to say". Mr R.T., Warwick. |

In 2021 I designed and produced one of the biggest and most complex Family Trees I have done so far. It is a piece of work that I was ultimately very proud of, having been easily the toughest to design and pull together. Unfortunately and very disappointingly, one of my client's family was not happy for the piece to be shown here, not even in part.
All future work will be undertaken only on the understanding that I retain the intellectual property of the piece, and therefore have the right to display it on this website. I will of course always be sensitive to any work that is of a personal nature which may not be appropriate to share in a public domain.
Anyway, this is what my client wrote about the work:-
"When I commissioned from Angela Swan a genealogical chart comprising over 50 French families and their interrelations over centuries, I was concerned that the scale of the work, the complexity of organising the material and the need for it to be executed in an accurate and aesthetically pleasing manner might present an insurmountable challenge.
I needn’t have worried. Angela’s diligence, painstaking attention to detail and consummate skill in calligraphy was of the highest standard and the chart exceeded my highest expectations. I can commend her work wholeheartedly. " Mr A.B., Oxfordshire

This Family Tree was of particular interest as it includes a famous historical name - Wyatt Earp.
"Angela has recently completed a commission for us which was the creation of a particularly tricky family tree chart that required skill, inventiveness and initiative - all of which Angela has in abundance. She created a perfect chart which will now remain as a family heirloom for future generations of our family.”
Mr K,W., Worcestershire
