  • Fountain of the Four Rivers

    This piece was done in Newport Beach for the festival launching the 68th annual international yacht race. I recreated Bernini's Fountain in Rome complete with the center obelisk done in chalk over a weekend. Working in 360° allows many viewers to see the piece from every angle all at once. It was a huge success!

    This was a fun piece to do at the Santa Barbara I Madonnari Festival. Very challenging with the distortion of the faces. Had to fit a rectangular image into a square box. I think I like Lupita peaking in the back the best!

  • Disney in progress

    While working on the villains I decided to change the image the second day. Originally there was a gold frame surrounding them and they were holding other "movie" objects. I switch this to a curtain that was being pulled aside to peak in on their meeting. I then wanted to throw humor into it and give them cookies and milk........chocolate chip of course!

This is a representation of various chalk festivals I have participated in over the years. Some of the images are shown complete while others show the process in which they were done. All of this work is created using only soft pastels on either asphalt or pavement and range from 8' x 10' to 12' x 12'.
