Published Chalk Art Nation, May 2nd 2024 Author: Lisa Sandrowicz An article about a proud aunt, watching her niece's chalk journey! Witnessing my niece, Lily, become immersed in the world of the chalk tribe has truly been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. I fondly recall the early days when she'd visit for sleepovers, and we'd embark on adventures, from building forts to exploring the local park with my dog, Kona. It was during one of these memorable times that I introduced her to chalk art when she was just 9 years old. She eagerly chose a whimsical Starbucks-inspired unicorn creation from Pinterest, and together we carefully outlined and gridded the design onto my driveway. With determination in her eyes, Lily tackled the project, meticulously bringing the image to life with vibrant chalk colors. Her enthusiasm for the craft only grew from there. From her first chalk festival at the age of 9 to winning her inaugural award at the Fall Into Art Competition in Winter Park, Lily's passion and talent have blossomed remarkably. Each milestone along the way has been a testament to her dedication and creativity. Her recent triumph in March 2024, when she took home the Student Best in Show Award, solidifies her as an accomplished artist. Our chalk weekends have evolved into cherished traditions, filled with laughter, creativity, and shared experiences. Witnessing Lily's resilience and dedication as she spends hours perfecting her creations in various weather conditions fills me with immense pride. She's not only mastering the art itself but is also developing invaluable skills in time management and work ethic along the way. Now, as she enters her teenage years, Lily navigates her chalk endeavors with confidence, selecting her own designs and seamlessly managing every aspect of the process. Her dream of becoming a Disney Imagineer, fueled by her love for chalking Disney characters, seems closer than ever before. I am beyond proud to support her journey and eagerly anticipate the incredible heights she will undoubtedly reach. Our shared love for chalk art has not only strengthened our bond but also provided us with endless opportunities for growth and creativity together.
