Hello there! I'm Julie, your friendly neighborhood chalk artist, residing in the historic Uptown area of New Orleans, Louisiana. I’m passionate about spreading kindness, uplifting spirits, and making the world more colorful by creating temporary murals.

The inception of Laurel Chalk took place amidst the challenging backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. Seeking solace and therapeutic release, I began drawing inspirational messages with sidewalk chalk. Little did I know that this simple act would soon captivate the hearts of my neighbors. It quickly became my personal mission to infuse my corner of the neighborhood with vibrant colors, utilizing every ounce of chalk at my disposal.

Since the early days of this journey, I've honed my skills in creating cheerful chalk art, constantly exploring new techniques and approaches. I've enjoyed sharing my art with neighbors and with loved ones for special occasions or just because. After years of encouragement, I turned my passion into a business and have since worked with individuals, companies, and agencies. I look forward to learning how we can work together!
