Gabrielle has been hired by the Seattle Parks Department’s “Street Busker Program” to create her chalk art on the pavement of Westlake Park at 3rd Ave and Pine st. throughout the summer of 2010. In the month of July Gabrielle will time her drawings to coincide with live radio broadcasts in Westlake Park of chamber music from the Seattle Chamber Music Society’s “Music under the Stars” festival. The live broadcasts by KING 98.1 FM will begin at 8PM on July 9,16, 23 and 28.
The following images are taken from Gabrielle’s chalk drawing in Westlake Park during July 8-10. Gabrielle recreated “The Delphic Sybil” and the “Libyan Sybil,” images from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel.
Westlake Park promotes a family-friendly urban atmosphere. Chess games are encouraged on the giant chessboard seen in the background, and children cool off in the “walk-through” fountain.
Here the two Sybils are seen side by side, one already engulfed by the creeping shade.
Gabrielle will be creating new chalk art pieces in Westlake Park every weekend (weather permitting) throughout the months of June-September 2010
