I bring over 40 years of experience as a calligrapher to my work in Farsi, Persian, Urdu and Arabic Calligraphy. I work in both contemporary and traditional calligraphy styles, providing work for a diverse array of clients worldwide. For calligraphy in other languages and scripts, please visit my website palmstone.com. For inquiries and orders, please submit a contact form.
I provide calligraphy for names and monograms, wedding monograms, illuminated marriage certificates, architectural calligraphy, tattoo designs, book cover and publication design, logos, signage, and many other types of projects. I also create calligrams (calligraphy in a specific shape) and zoomorphic designs (calligraphy in the shape of animals).
My procedure is to first learn as much as I can about the project you have in mind. In order to create a calligraphic design I typically produce a number of versions for the client to review. In addition to calligraphy commissions I also produce original art for sale. I am available for calligraphy workshops, seminars and presentations as my schedule permits.
I receive quite a number of requests regarding Rumi, Hafiz and other Persian poets. Happily many people have come to appreciate Persian poetry due to the popularity of recent versions of the work in English. Tracking down the original Persian counterparts of these translations can be tricky. Rumi was a prolific poet, whose complete works run to many volumes. The versions in English are often not exact translations. I take up researching the original lines of poetry on behalf of my clients and do my best to offer a deeper understanding of the original wording of the passages.
