Lori Escalera, Chalk Artist and Street Painter

Street Painting (MADONNARI) dates back to 1600's in Italy. It was a way for artists to put their hat out and make money. “Madonnari” is a term that actually denotes the chalk artists that render the Madonna. But, today the term is more general and applied to large scale chalk artists that perform for the public.

A lady approached me at a venue and said that during WWll, she remembered seeing artists in Europe chalking on the street to make money. Who would have thought when I did my first Street Art (1994) that one day I’d be making a career of it!
