PROJECTS


These are SweetFrau's recent/ongoing projects.
The purpose of the public art projects is to inspire joy and an appreciation for all of life.
While, doing work that is enjoyable and integrates her enthusiasm, skills and perspective.


“I think the role of the artist is, is to take whatever it is they believe in
and put it out there so the public can see it.”

~ David “Lebo” Le Batard

The HUman element

Picture
The HUman element is a colorful celebration of the commonality and diversity present in our community. This piece contains photos of local residents, taken during an event in Courthouse Square in October, and images of participants from other venues. The project focuses on the qualities of our (human) nature which support life, provide joy and foster connection. This conceptual design amalgamates the periodic table of elements, which comprise life as we know it, with positive traits/aspects of being human, which sustain it.

Superhero Unfolding

Superhero Unfolding (SU) is the underlying concept for a series of public art projects, which explore the themes of identity and self expression, using the iconography of popular culture. Superheroes, to be precise.

Petaluma Art Chicks

The Petaluma Art Chicks were designed in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Chick P is the original character and is emblematic of Petaluma's agricultural tradition. Petaluma is also the home of some feisty corvids and other amazing creatures.

VOTE with LOVE

The VOTE with LOVE signs were initially designed as stickers. Turned into 2ft hand-painted panels, they were posted at the Petaluma Historical Library & Museum and at several other locations around town.

“Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

Conceptual Design
& Guerilla Giveaways

The Guerilla Giveaways started as a fun way for SweetFrau to maintain her sanity by channeling her energy into creating conceptual projects while underemployed. While the theme of these giveways varies from month to month, it is generally topical to the day of its happening.

Past giveaways include: The Love Bunnies, Flower POWer, Spectacular  Steeds and One Nation, Indivisible.

Street Smart

The Street Piano and the Street Stickers share a common goal, to use words and simple graphics to represent complex issues.

The Street Stickers  use iconic symbols of popular culture to present an idea for thought and 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.

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 and a new page will be online next week.

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. Prices includes mailing. Volume discounts available.

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.”
- Martha Graham

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.
If you would like more information on a project or service,
