From the White House to the Sea
An Illustrated Lecture by Rick Paulus
September 21, 2022
1:00 pm PDT
This is a free, on-line lecture via Zoom, and will be recorded.
The lecture is limited to 500 participants.
In this colorful presentation, former White House chief calligrapher, Rick Paulus, takes you on a unique journey into the worlds of international diplomacy, White House entertaining and adventure on the high seas. Using his calligraphy as the backdrop, Rick shares personal vignettes from working at the highest levels of government as a calligrapher, calligraphy's role in diplomacy, and many insights into the operations of the White House Social Office.
In 2006, Rick took a bold leap by leaving his coveted position in Washington to explore new adventures and art. It is here that Rick confronts his most difficult and most rewarding assignments; finding a voice for his work, merging life into art and art into life, and continuing to strive to achieve the technical skills required to speak fluently from the hand. Today, Rick continues his quest for the perfectly formed letter on the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
