Shaon 35/100 I met Shaon at our local Indiafest today. He was very outgoing and happy to post for the camera once his father asked him to stop moving so I could photograph him. Shaon enjoys skateboarding but was not thrilled at the prospect of dancing at the festival today.
Melanie Stimmel 35/100 Melanie is one of the artists participating in the Sistine Chapel project for Impressions in Chalk this weekend. Hailing from LA, she holds the title "Maestro" awarded to her in Italy for her work. She is recreating the "creation of man" portion of the ceiling and it is amazing.
Genna Panzarella 36/100 Genna is another "Maestro" creating part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling this week. From San Fransisco, Genna has been an artist for many years and has been participating in street painting festivals for the past 15 years. She sometimes recreates her street work in oil paintings so that she has them to enjoy after her work has washed away. She told me she wants to do as many festivals as she can because the clock is ticking on her knees. Her portion of the ceiling is The Flood. The detail and colours, subtle shading and depth are incredible. She truly is a Maestro with pastels.
