In her career, Diane von Arx has been a letter-maker and designer, producing expressive lettering, developing corporate marks, and creating unique resolutions and documents of recognition. The first eight years of her career were spent in a package design studio in Minneapolis where she was responsible for original lettering on product packaging. A native Minnesotan, Diane has taught throughout the state for over 45 years, and for the past 40 years, she has taught workshops throughout the U.S., Canada, Japan, and Australia. In 2019 she gave workshops for the Schreibwerstadt Klingspor in Germany and a lecture and workshops for the European Lettering Institute in Brugge, Belgium.

In 1988 she worked with Professor Rutherford Aris in designing his publication Explicatio Formarum Litterarum for use at the 1990 international calligraphy conference at Saint John’s University in Collegeville, MN. Her work is published in the 22nd and 23rd Editions of the Speedball Textbook among many other calligraphic publications.

Diane was part of the artistic team for The Saint John’s Bible completing four original illuminations in the Wisdom Books volume. One of her major achievements was the design, lettering, illumination, and entire creation of The Book of Honor, the donor volume for The Saint John’s Bible. She has offered numerous lectures on her process in working on the Bible Project to audiences around the country. Diane also hand letters many of the unique dedication pages for the Heritage Edition sets and has hand-numbered each volume for the entire fine art edition.
