Arabic calligraphy is the light of my life–literally! From captivation at a young age to devotion to its study to present-day vocation, it has shaped my life now for over two decades. I believe that the graceful contours of calligraphy now have the power to shape my thoughts just as they grace my paper or canvas. The insightful quote “Calligraphy is engineering of the spirit” has guided my insatiable enquiry and desire to learn this art and craft–an art that always inspires and a craft that never tires.
