Ricki DiCola

I am Ricki, the person behind r + ink calligraphy. I was born in the Chicago area and love the changes of seasons, including our sometimes brutal winters. I work on a wide range of projects for clients. These can range from weddings, anniversaries, gifts, corporate events and in-person events. I also offer on-site workshops in calligraphy, pointed pen, and brush lettering and offer on-site events using my skills in calligraphy and engraving on glass and metal. As a former math and science teacher, using my calligraphy skills is just a fun way to share more about me.

The love of letters and handwritten words started at a young age. I was the student with multi-color pens and markers organizing and categorizing my notes in my spirals and on notecards. Being a calligraphy artist has allowed to give each client a little bit of my heart and soul with every project I work on. Making each client happy is my goal.
