So I chalked at Wiregrass this past weekend, can you believe it- I won 1st place! I am still reeling from the shock. Had a great time...the weather was great, and the company was better. Did a family of hippos...I could have done better. Then again the flaws were not so obvious until I looked at the post work photos. Never the less, you can see them on these pages...including the crazy artist herself. Thanks BK for the pics!
Now I am looking forward to Lakeland's Chalk for Charity, the Uptown event at Cranes Roost in Altamont, TBBCA's Hyde Park Chalk Walk, and Safety Harbor Bloom'nChalk.
Doing another Girl Scout picture in Lakeland. Maybe I will see you there!

About Me
- Roni
- Brooksville, Florida
- Raised in Michigan, Roni François developed her love of art while perusing the Flint Institute of Arts’ galleries and art books at the nearby library. Her initial plunge into self-expression was working in oils. Roni relocated to South Florida where she exhibited in shows in Lake Worth and West Palm Beach. While her children were young, Roni switched to three-dimensional arts including costume design, pine needle basketry and soft sculpture. After short stints of work in colored pencil, fabric art, pastel and acrylics; watercolor has become the main focus of her artwork. Now living in Brooksville, Florida, the largely self-taught artist delves into such varied subjects as wildlife, portraiture, still-life, florals, landscapes and seascapes. Recently, she has added chalk shows to her interests and has now participated in 24 shows around Florida, and demonstrated the process for 2 groups of Girl Scouts
