Pavement Art

Sidewalk Chalk

Pavement Art is a project born during the hard times of Covid 19. It was meant to fight boredom, chase off anxiety, and bring color to our lives through drawings.


​

Through this project, and thanks to Cedar Cottage, Frog Hollow and Kiwassa Neighbourhood Houses in Vancouver, I have invited people (at their windows and balconies, or just passing by) to interact with their neighbours, and to express their creativity; either by giving me directions and ideas, or by join in (at a safe distance).
Many have participated, triggering smiles, fostering creativity, and successfully brightened people’s lives by helping them focus on possibilities, as small as they are.

​

Chalk has washed away with rain. Smiles have remained.
