Artist CV

Jessi Queen is an Atlanta based artist who strives to build community and share chalk art with others. She specializes in large chalk murals, 3D chalk art, chalk workshops, and interactive art. Designing experiences has always been Jessi’s passion and she spends her day job as a UX designer. Outside of work you can find her chalking all over the US and Europe. She works at art festivals, trade shows, music festivals and private events.

Jessi started chalking at the SCAD Sidewalk Arts Festival in 2007, receiving Honorable Mention, while she was just a high schooler. Growing up in Savannah, she fell in love with the chalk medium and practiced large drawings at school and in her driveway.

After attending SCAD herself, Jessi continued to share chalk with others. While in college, her chalk art was featured in the SCAD Connector. In 2011, she began chalking for retail spaces. She also led workshops for various colleges including the Art Institute of Atlanta, SCAD art camps, art and music festivals and events for nonprofit organizations. 

In 2012, she introduced her husband Zach to the medium and they have been chalking together since. In 2014, she started the Georgia Chalk Artists Guild and partners with Georgia festivals to bring chalk art to various corners of the state. In 2016 her and Zach traveled to Germany and Italy for international street art festivals. She has since won several awards for her work and displayed chalk drawings in local art shows.

Jessi and Zach grew their family excited to take their children around the world through chalk. Read about their adventures on zachandjessi.com. Jessi continues to do freelance chalk work and has many appearances scheduled for chalk festivals in 2023!
