What People Are Saying

“I’ve taken my first steps in calligraphy in February 2025 and that would not have been possible without Sam’s help and engagement. She really cares about my progress and carefully guides me through the program that she prepared. She’s patient and understanding which encourages me to learn. She motivates and inspires me to push forward and she’s a role model for me. To anyone who’s considering starting their journey in calligraphy-I can say that without a doubt Sam Balboa is a trustworthy teacher and artist and I’m very glad our paths have crossed.”
