Bella Vita Festival 2026 San Diego: Tuscany-Inspired Chalk Art

Posted October 18, 2026 by Grasiela

I had a wonderful time a the 2026 Bella Vita Festival in San Diego, bringing a little Italian charm to the pavement through my chalk art.

Inspired by the vineyards of Tuscany, my chalk square featured an Italian maiden picking grapes among the sun-drenched grapevines. I wanted to capture the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside with a little dolce vita sprinkled in.

It was such a joy to bring this scene to life and connect with fellow artists and festival visitors. Events like these remind me why I love creating: every piece tells a story, and sometimes that story takes you all the way to Tuscany!

Ciao, bella! Until the next artistic adventure!

Azusa Golden Days Chalk Festival 2026: Celebrating Route 66 Through Chalk Art

Posted October 11, 2026 by Grasiela

The Azusa Golden Days Chalk Festival brought Route 66 to life through the creativity of chalk artists, transforming pavement into colorful works of art inspired by the history, charm, and Americana of the iconic highway.

This year’s theme was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the stories and spirit of Route 66 through art. I loved being part of this creative celebration, sharing my artwork, and connecting with fellow artists. Sometimes the best journeys aren’t taken on the road, they’re created with one piece of chalk at a time!
