CHILDREN HAVE CREATIVE MINDS by Suzae Chevalier
CHILDREN HAVE CREATIVE MINDS
Drawing by Elsie when she was little enjoying my play dates with her.
Children have a great minds
with their imagination they do find—
Original artwork that does shine.
Coming from God above
Free flows from His love
So encourage them-
to know the truth–
that Jesus loves them through and through.
They have Children Have Creative Minds that is true.

Chicago 1993
The year was 1993 I did go
I was at the Chicago Computer Expo-
For the first time I played the interactive
3D reality game–
I won by eating all the sharks that
came my way.
I got a free taxi ride-
around the city-
what a fun time!
I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art
It had a large dinosaur when the tour did start.
I danced at the clubs in downtown south and north-
took a hotel shuttle back and forth.
They all promoted with shots to drink-
this is not Minneapolis I did think.
It was fun and I am glad I went-
it had great memories and time
well spent.

LAKE WORTH STREET PAINTING FESTIVAL 2011
Street Painting Festival was a great success
painted castle scene I did express
that birthday party ended swell
I painted it by myself.
Tons of people passing by
sun shining brightly in the sky.
My back and shoulders did get burned,
spray sunscreen every 90 minutes I did learn
friends brought me water for concerned.
All in all the festival was great
Talked to an Italian guy with tattooed arms
he hung around but meant no harm.
He stood by me and talked and talked
as I painted scene with colored chalk.
Coloring books I gave out some for free
others sold at Stuart Rooney’s
Import store
on table by door.
All in all the show was great
next year I can’t wait
for then I will paint
a totally different funny scene
Make it more of palm trees.

LAKE WORTH STREET PAINTING FESTIVAL 2014 by Suzae Chevalier
It was the Lake Worth Street Painting Festival
two thousand fourteen–
Chalk painters would have to paint a Hollywood movie scene.
I painted again in front of Rooney Imports store
crowds came with a lot cameras galore.
Kavasutra Kava Bar was playing their music outside-
with speakers on the roof –they did not hide.
A friend down the street
said she saw a clip of me-
in the morning on Fox News
from last year when I had an interview.
This clip was on before the Oscars in 2013
also after it for it was about what’s happening.
Next year will be my last festival I will paint-
I will wear a princess outfit that looks really quaint.

Louise Fletcher All Smiles by Suzae Chevalier
Louise Fletcher smiles with cast of “Finding Home” at the Gulfstream Hotel circa 2005 photo by Sue Chevalier
Tenth Annual Palm Beach International Film Festival 2005
Louise Fletcher was all smiles.
I photographed her at the Gulfstream Hotel
festival was fun, I remember it well.
I shot photos of Louise and cast
captured on film for memories to last.
Louise was in the famous movie
“One Who Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”
Louise Fletcher was at her prime-
she was nominated for best actress.
Acting in her new drama film–
“Finding Home” was no run of the mill.
I went to see her later at the preview showing
I photographed Louise again-
she was glowing.
I still have photos of her with fellow cast members
preserved in time so everyone can remember.

Flower With Butterflies by Suzae Chevalier
St. Josephs chalk painting.
Hummingbird Hotel by Suzae Chevalier
The beginning of wisdom is to fear God. We are nothing without Him. We are to live by His commandments. God wants you to go to Him freely and confess.
There one was a Hummingbird hotel
in Lake Worth I remember it well.
I paint on the sidewalk just outside,
I was happy and filled with pride.
I was a rogue artist that did not give up,
even when they said there was no more spots.
Now this year the Hummingbird hotel is closed
still many stories need to be told
Thank you Winston for sharing what you know
and letting be in the Street Painting show.

ARTIST NANCY WALLER by Suzae Chevalier
Artist Nancy Waller at he studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I remember hearing a voice,
“go down this road” was the choice.
Road 42nd Street West in south Minneapolis.
Great visual artist I would meet,
She drew wild life animals detailed and neat.
Nancy Waller was her name,
she drew endangered species
to help bring about awareness and change.
she was the best artist I loved her most of all,
she went to her see her at the museum,
took photos with her that where very pleasing.
I was happy for Nancy designed,
coloring books as cute and fine.
Nancy got my books off to a great start,
she inspired me and has a pure heart.
Thank you Nancy for inspiration and passion too,
you’re a great artist, through and through.
