An artist from Spain, now in Virginia, USA

Beatriz Vicente

Beatriz Vicente, originally from Spain is now based in Virginia, USA. Her calligraphy journey began 15 years ago when she discovered a love for the uncial script. At the time, she worked in advertising while raising her three children, and calligraphy quickly became an essential creative outlet. While her early focus was on pointed pen scripts, her interests have expanded over the years to include broad pen styles such as Italic, Fraktur, and Gothic scripts. To this day, she still begins each day with Spencerian drills to maintain her rhythm and continues to pursue learning through workshops and ongoing study.
