Chalk the Walk

In 2009 and 2010, I was hired to attend Gig Harbor’s Chalk the Walk event (which coincided with the Gig Harbor Arts Festival) as a professional chalk artist. Both years, I worked on large chalk pieces for the duration of the event while interacting with and answering the questions of passersby attending the event.

Adam produced this chalk piece for Gig Harbor's Chalk the Walk 2010.
