Dawn Wagner
I am originally from Santa Barbara, CA where the first street painting festival took place in the United States, so I was fortunate to have been exposed to the art form 35 years ago. I participated for the first time in 1988, and I am proud to say I have done at least one festival, somewhere around the country, every year since. I originally started doing exclusively classical reproductions, focusing on Italian artists to honor my Roman ancestry, and the origins of the art form. I have since expanded on my love for portraiture through the centuries and am now experimenting with more contemporary compositions that explore different perspectives, and expand on the relationship between street art and the viewer. The pieces with a stretched perspective are also a fun way to combine my background in Mechanical Engineering with my love for art. It is an honor to have been able to participate in The Denver Chalk Art Festival for so many years. It remains one of my favorites, combining talented local and visiting artists, a beautiful location, and a dedicated team of organizers and volunteers who put their heart into its success. - www.madonnara.com

Steve DeOrio
As an artist I am fascinated with new and different creative applications and I'm not one who is afraid of jumping out of my comfort zone and trying something different. I became involved in street painting (chalk art) in 2004 and create a few of these large scale (10'x12' + ) pastel chalk drawings each year. I am fortunate to be a featured artist in the Denver Chalk art Festival these past 5 years. Many people are dismayed that these drawing are so transient but I have found such freedom in this very issue. Nothing last forever. It has help me realize that the true joy of my creative passion is in the moment, in the creative process and sharing that with others. Let's see what's down the road!
