Love for Laurel Chalk

“Julie has taken to the streets to spread cheer with sidewalk chalk. Julie's chalk art is the little extra that we all need to help us smile and stay positive.”

"She showed up and drew her magnificent creation before anyone was up and moving that morning: the first thing I did was run to see it. Truly it was gorgeous to look at but beyond that it was such a treat for all my party guests. If I’m being honest, I consider it one of the great kindnesses of my adult life: that a colleague would indulge my fanciful wish in such a fully committed way. I think of that gift often, it is a treasured memory. Everyone who saw it and hopped and jumped and twirled and laughed remembers it too. Every time I see a new Laurel Street creation, I am so happy for everyone who gets to enjoy it, and reminded of my own very special obstacle course. Part of the charm of chalk art is that it is, by definition, temporary. But I will remember the glee of my dog and pony sidewalk mural forever, which is, I think, its own kind of magic.”

“I’ve known Julie for a number of years and have worked with her in both a professional and personal capacity. No matter the size or scope of the project, Julie takes great consideration into the creative process and always comes up with a solution I would have never dreamt up on my own! She’s incredibly easy to work with, prompt with response times, and sticks to her timelines. She is also the definition of a sunny person so working with her is always fun. When Julie chalked the sidewalk for my daughter’s birthday party we had everyone from neighbors to strangers to delivery guys taking photos of how awesome the work was. I cannot recommend her more highly for any creative project!”
