2023 Professional Chalk Artist:

Seth Allison has been a chalk artist at Chelsea Sounds and Sights on Thursday Nights for the past two years. This is his first giant (10x10ft) chalk piece at Sounds and Sights, and he’s excited to bring his fun, fantastic, and whimsical creation to the sidewalks of Chelsea! He enjoys all types of arts and crafts, creating fantastical creatures, and collecting rocks, sticks, feathers, and glass. More of his chalk art can be found on his Instagram, @puckishprojects.

Dave Brenner holds a BFA with a concentration in painting and a BA in theater from the University of Alaska – Fairbanks. He is now a Creative Director at the University of Michigan. Dave has a unique ability to transform creative ideas into stunning works of 3D street art. He is inspired by the prospect of bringing the impossible to life via the interactive nature of his 3D designs and often employs themes of fantasy or illusion. He is regularly featured in street painting festivals both within the U.S and internationally. Dave also enjoys collaborating with his wife on large-scale projects as part of their Pigment of Your Imagination team.

Kat Brenner has grown up in the professional chalk world. Her immediate family is full of international chalk professionals and have all particiapted in the Chelsea Chalk Art Contest for many years. Kat won several categories of the 2022 Chelsea Chalk Art Contest: Best in Show, People’s Choice, Best Art Reproduction, & 2nd Place Youth! While her visual art skills are impressive, she is also an amazing musical talent as well!

Erika Lalita first discovered her talent with chalk pastels in college, but fell into the street chalk life quite serendipitously many years later when filling in for a co-worker at a festival in New York. After several years participating, she realized it had become her passion and learned of the wider world of professional chalking. She began traveling as a professional in 2018 and quickly grew national acclaim for her vivid and dynamic renderings.
