Come by this Saturday, May 30th 9-12:00pm to Galuppi’s restaurant Pompano Beach with your cleared out stash of old art supplies benefiting our local community! I will be creating a live chalk mural with former student And SCS graduate Makena Vargo on site as supplies are gathered following social distancing measures.
Friday, March 13th the Hillsboro Lighthouse Preservation Society held its annual fundraiser to celebrate the 113th anniversary of the lighthouse. I create a 3 panel triptych of the lighthouse using acrylic, chalk, and gold leaf live at the event. The final piece will be donated to the Miami Beach Coast Guard this spring.
Saturday March 7th was International Women’s Day at the The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. I was among 4 other female chalk artists asked to recreate a famous work of art by a woman artist. The event took pace along Cranes Nest Way on the south entrance of the museum, with live music and vendors along the street to celebrate the day.
Art Lit 2020, collaboration of arts and literature hosted by Broward County Libraries and the Pompano Beach Cultural Center was a great success this month. 25 chalk artists joined live painters, virtual reality artists, and more at this 3rd annual community event on Saturday, January 11th. I was happy to continue the role of chalk artist coordinator in helping to bring the art of live street painting to the City of Pompano Beach.
