What I Create
Chalk Murals & Pop Art
Large-scale chalk artwork and bold portraits for festivals, events, and public spaces.
3D & Interactive Art
Perspective-based artwork that invites visitors into the scene.
Community Events & Workshops
Chalk experiences that bring artists, neighbors, and curious beginners together.
Art That Brings People Together
Chalk art happens in public, so the audience is part of it from the very first line. People stop, ask questions, and come back to check on the progress.
In 2014 Zach co-founded the Georgia Chalk Artists Guild with Jessi Queen and Katie Bush, and he created the guild’s Pop-Up Chalk Festival to bring chalk to closed streets and plazas, where neighbors, families and first-time artists draw alongside experienced muralists.
