Before I moved from NYC to Seattle I created Streetdrawing, a community-building arts organization dedicated to creating large-scale chalk-drawn murals with children in Brooklyn, NY. Working alongside professional artists, children were encouraged to express themselves. An exhibit of photographs documenting the project was shown at the Brooklyn Museum.<\/p>\n
I’ve organized and produced community art events in NYC, Seattle, Portland, Boston, and Dayton. Additionally, large-scale chalk murals by children and artists working together, have been created to benefit various charitable organizations.<\/p>\n
The ArtQuake piece is a 30×60 ft. mural created in one day by Portland middle school students as the centerpiece image for a poster promoting ArtQuake (Portland, Oregon arts festival). The resulting artwork was photographed from a cherrypicker at a height of 40 ft.<\/p>\n
The CASA piece is a still photo from an event filmed for use in a TV public service announcement for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), a child advocacy organization.<\/p>\n
I’m interested in doing new community art projects here in Seattle, as part of the movement to take back urban spaces for human-scale and pedestrian use. I’m available to produce special Streetdrawing events for non-profit and commercial purposes. Video and photographic images of events are visually powerful \u2014 great for advertising and public relations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
