Why is calligraphy an art form, you ask? Come see why in the Calligraphy Chronicles Publication. You will find the article I wrote AND some of my upcycled calligraphy - turned - origami in the premiere publication.

With a steady hand, an expert eye and endless imagination, Janet Murata creates works of art one pen stroke at a time.
