Ulla's pavement art attracting avid interest at Fremantle Street Arts festival 2003. Photo © Howie Gaskin Ulla's new domain is- www.ullart.com Check it out for up to date information! this page is now my archives. These images are some of my favourites from the past decade of street drawing.. wildlife art, fantasy art, performers...	A highly versatile performance art form, pavement art is tailored to specific sites, themes and audiences. The "screeving" or street mural, is crafted in brilliant, ephemeral Fine Art chalk pastels, and literally creates a new perspective on the grey street, delighting and amazing pedestrians. Created over days, the artwork fades as it is worn away by the elements. Ulla's fine pavement art is exceptionally photogenic and attracts avid interest from visual media.

The Performers in Edmonton © Ulla Taylor, July 2001. Edmonton International Street Performers' festival.... Clown, detail of The Performers in Edmonton	The art is a performance, it out-lives itself in people's memories, but what I like most about street art is the way it can be a delightful surprise to strangers, a little sacred site in the midst of the grey city for all to enjoy...

Fried egg (on a Rainy Day....) © Ulla Taylor, July 2004.Edmonton International Street Performers' festival... The Weather?.. every body asks! In 2004, my street art survived extremes of weather.. From a strangely rained-out January in Nelson New Zealand, to Joondalup in Western Australia, where the temperature topped 47 degrees Celsius in March .. At Edmonton Streetfest Canada, these extremes were apparent in the one day... from hot enough to cook an egg on the pavement, to tornado hail.. and a bit of late night madness in the Northern Lights too! (Great pix on that festival web...). This egg survived the hail after a sound baking in the sun! The night before I arrived in Wanaka New Zealand May 05 it snowed on the Southern Alps. The Crown range was blanched with icy snow half an hour from town. Luckily the weather was perfect for most of the time at The Festival of Colour.... but Brrrr.. that wind was icy!	Forgive the rambling nature of my pavement art gallery.. Over so many years and themes, events and images, it's becoming all a jumble.. Tamachan the seal visits Kobe Harbourland, drawn with Bev Isaac Japan 2003. In 2003 I toured great artistic stuff in Europe like Picasso and Gaudi's work in Barcelona, Van Gogh in Amsterdam... Gaudi's La Sagrada Famiglia being the most singularly awesome art experience! I won a prize in Geldern, Germany's Premium Street Art Competition.. And worked in Kobe Harbourland, pioneering street art in Japan with Bev Isaac.	Best View, with kaka, kakapo, tuatara, and morepork owl Sidewalk Art Project 98 © Ulla Taylor 1998, (~2 x 4m) Chch NZ.

Ulla's new domain is www.ullart.com	Why be a street artist? It's an effort to be financially and creatively autonomous... Street art has enabled me to earn an income from my art since I was 17. Street Art is art for the masses.. it is created for the joy of the whole community.. Now it's getting hard to travel anywhere without doing a street drawing!.. makes me feel at home in the wide world.	e-mail ulla for more information
