These are the styles of calligraphy that I typically work in. They are by no means the only styles of Arabic calligraphy, so if you are looking for something specific please email me with details and I can see if I am able to . I divide them into two broad categories: traditional, and contemporary.

Traditional styles have long histories and a lineage of teaching going back many generations, and I approach them with more discipline as far as what is and is not possible. Contemporary styles are modern creations, either my own or other calligraphers, and are more flexible in terms of form, in many cases.
