Rikki's Calligraphy Art

Ms. Samuels learned the art of calligraphy through her skating talents. 
"Using a steel pen for calligraphy is like using a steel blade for figure skating."

Her "Calligraphic Silhouettes" (shapes filled in with works) have been shown in galleries in New York, London and Mexico City among other art cities.

She is the author of five calligraphic learning manuals.

Critics have written..."her grace and precision on the ice is duplicated on paper and both show her artistic qualities"

Clients include international sport figures and art collectors.  Her workshops in Mexico City were sell outs.
