The Shoppes at Beacon Light in Lighthouse Point hosted an evening of art & live music for the local community Friday, March 15th. I created a live chalk mural featuring pearls and floral imagery alongside the kids chalk area. Looking forward to the next one!
The 30th annual LWSPF took place February 24th-25th, 2024 with over 600 artists and 100,00 visitors! I created this colored light portrait in chalk pastel on pavement 8×8′

I created a chalk piece for the annual State of the Arts Address October 25th at the Broward Performing Arts Center last month. The temporary piece of public art made the cover of the Sun Sentinel the following day helping promote the value of the event and future of Broward arts!
This chalk piece was create for the “Art + Stroll” event to benefit Business for the Arts of Broward this past November downtown Fort Lauderdale.

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.
The City of Hollywood hosted a beautiful environmental art festival at the Marine Environmental Education Center right on the beach last Saturday, April 21st. Showcasing local artists, vendors and trash to art projects, the community came out and showed their support by cleaning the beach, planting new sea oats, and raising awareness. Here is the chalk mural I created from 12-5pm next to other installation artists and sculptors.
