Process for Street Chalk Art
Sometimes I will cover the surface I'm working with in a tempera paint and water mixture to "prime" the surface. This prepares the surface and makes it easier to chalk on.

I use only water soluble materials so the image is only temporary. It will wash away with a few rainstorms. I use hairspray at the end to temporarily fix the chalk so it can be walked on without losing all of the chalk on the traveler’s shoes.

I discovered the amazing colorful qualities of chalk when I was in High School and I’ve been using chalk on paper ever since. It was more of a personal art form where I could just get messy and enjoy the chalk on my hands.
I love to touch the medium I work with in my artwork.

I got my start in chalk when I learned about a chalk art contest in Chicago and decided to enter. I knew chalking on the sidewalk was going to be very different than on paper but I was up for the challenge. I created a beautiful piece titled, “Starry Flight” and won first place championship at that competition. It was there that I attracted my sponsor Champ Sticks. Now I am a professional chalk artist creating colorful chalk art murals at various festivals, fairs, contests, and events for entertainment and advertising. I am based in Des Moines, Iowa but I travel all over the world.

I love street art because it is for everyone to enjoy. My art isn’t closed inside four walls for only a few to see. And it can be viewed by people of every class, not only ones who can afford original artwork. I love watching the children walk up to my drawing as I’m working. Many of them want to join in! It makes my day to see their faces light up when they see my drawings.
