Michael Sull

國際間備受推崇的美國西洋書法大師。 擔任IAMPETH（國際手寫英文書法大師與教師協會）主席長達二十五年。當今唯一師承美國英文書法黃金年代大師的傳奇人物。美國前列根總統的御用書法家。

2018年Michael於亞洲地區巡迴講課時，與他在澳門相處的大約一周時間裏，不論於課堂內外都被他的魅力所吸引着。他曾到我的工作室作客並親自鑒評我所製作的沾水筆，給予了珍貴的意見，讓我受益不淺！

當我將籌備本書的消息跟Michael分享的時候，也獲得了他不少寶貴的建議和鼓勵，讓我對於西洋書法藝術傳承和教育的使命感有更深刻的領悟。在這裏節錄一段他所撰寫的推薦序與大家分享，亦藉此機會向他表示萬分敬意和感謝，期待日後能夠親身答謝他的支持。
