Street SmartThe Street Piano and the Street Stickers share a common goal, to use simple graphics to represent complex issues. The Street Stickers attempt to use icons/ symbols of popular culture to present an idea for reflection. The concept for the Street Piano is rooted in the theme of Superhero Unfolding, using the Chick P. character to bring forth its message, while paying homage to the programs sponsor, the Petaluma River Association. |
“A work of art is good if it has grown out of necessity.
In this manner of its origin lies its true estimate: there is no other. ”

Transcending
The purpose of this series, in development, is to playfully inspire and empower the viewer. SweetFrau hopes to raise funds to create banners, stickers and signage for derelict spaces. More info to follow. To raise fund for this project, SweetFrau is selling 3 x 6 inch stickers of this design. To order one or more, please use the contact form. |
Works Not on Paper
Expression takes many forms. Some of them transcend words and graphics. The projects which fall into this category are pieces created to speak silently and directly to the viewer. What they say depends entirely on their point of view. The Skin I'm In series and Double Bind include such pieces. |
“The creative spirit creates with whatever materials are present...
The material is not the sign of the creative feeling for life: of the warmth and sympathy and reverence which foster being;
techniques are not the sign; "art" is not the sign.
The sign is the light that dwells within the act, whatever its nature or its medium. ”
- M.C. Richards
