Hold Your Horses - Art Gallery of Viera 2016

I don't know if you know this, but I am a director at Art Gallery of Viera. Each month we host a different themed show, as well as have a different artist who does a demo. Well, in January we had a horse themed show and I created a piece for in front of our gallery.

I would guess it took about 2-3 hours, that is how long our opening receptions are. And maybe 3x5 in size? I'm not to sure on that part.


Below is me with it to help judge size and my original sketch.



Artfest Ft Myers 2016

Back at it again!
I was one of the professional chalk artists at ArtFest Ft Myer's for the fourth year in a row! We instructed and judged 32 teams of high school student's while completing a sponsor piece (thank you Truy Nolen) and our own. The student work is spectacular. This year my co-professional artists were Cass Womack Nate Barronowski, BK Lyons, and Matt McAllister.

The above is my finished piece, it's a combination of Saturday and Sunday's work. We had some rain that flooded out the work so I put together a piece that could be done at separate times.


And some of my original sketches that I did to make this piece


Eau Gallie Artworks 2015

Hi! I am trying to catch up with all of my blog posts, I’ve been a bit behind. Despite not doing many festivals it was a busy year.

For the past few years I have coordinator the chalk portion of this festival. It is always a busy time, this year especially due to the rain. We didn't have alot of time, but a friend of mine (Amanda Shaw) and I teamed up to do an in memory piece for Link Johnston, the director of ArtWorks who passed away earlier in the year. He was a great guy and the festival would exist without his hard work.


Dunnellon Chalk Art Festival 2015

Chalk Art Festival - Dunnellon, FL | Oct 17, 2015


Hi! I am trying to catch up with all of my blog posts, I’ve been a bit behind. Despite not doing many festivals it was a busy year.

I was the featured artist for Dunnellon, so I decided to do a mermaid with the famous rainbow falls in the background. Like I said, it has been a while, so I don’t remember all of my details on this unfortunately, but it was probably 6x6 and 4 hours. I did use a reference photo for the mermaid, you can see it HERE credit to astrals-stock
