an autodidact
I am in fact and practice
of calligraphy

I was in fact a professional calligrapher AND self taught, although making a living at this art is really difficult... I gave it a shot. Initial inspiration came from my time in Germany, visiting museums to study the illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages.

One of my prouder moments was calligraphing certificates with the names of some 1200 volunteers who served during the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

DEFINITION of this 4-syllable noun:

a person who has learned a subject without the benefit of a teacher or formal education; a self-taught person.
