'My name is Elisabeth Kvernen, and I am a graphic designer. I created Calligraphy Qalam for my Masters of Fine Arts thesis project.
My husband and I began studying Arabic in 2004, and I became fascinated with calligraphy. We lived in Damascus, Syria from 2005 to 2006, and during that time I studied calligraphy (the Ruq’a script) with a Syrian artist. Fall of 2006 I enrolled in the University of Baltimore’s Master of Fine Arts in Integrated Design program. The required thesis project gave me the chance to further explore my interest in Arabic script calligraphy, which resulted in this website.
On this website you'll find a variety of interactive tools and information to help you learn more about calligraphy in the Arab, Ottoman and Persian traditions...'
