At the start of 2020, Weidmann releases an all-new piece in his signature style using the simple but powerful tools of pen and ink.

Capturing the word "Resilience" across the page, a weathered far-reaching tree with life-giving roots becomes the symbol of growing amidst difficulty. Though as challenging as they may be, the strong winds that break across our branches will be what form the strong roots that keep us grounded.  

So, no matter what lies ahead this year, may you have joy in the happy surprises and steady resilience to meet the strong winds ahead. Strong Winds. Deep Roots.

My first TEDx Talk explores the connections between the pen and how we learn, think, and carry our cultural heritage at a time when the very act of writing is being dropped from school curricula across the country.

I received my certificate as Master Penman in July 2011. I am one of nine existing Masters today and the youngest by three decades and the youngest ever to attain the title. Calligraphy is the "special sauce" to everything I create as I incorporate traditional calligraphic flourishing into the context of my fine art.
