​KUMPA TAWORNPROM

​Yhali Ilan was born as a fully developed grown up during a thunderstorm out of an active volcano that spontaneously emerged from the center of the Earth's core.

His creative style comes from an illustrative background and tends to inject a bit of lightness into his work. 

​If there's something you can imagine, Kumpa can and will make it!  He uses a variety of mediums, including styrofoam, fiberglass, epoxy, wood, acrylic, paint and of course, chalk. Kumpra is a professional chalk artist member of the Florida Chalk Artist Association and has been doing chalk art for 8 years. Being from Thailand, he likes to share the Thai culture style of art called Line Thai.  Common examples of Line Thai can be found on Buddhist temple walls and Taiwanese decor. He's made sculptures for companies like Disney, Warner Brothers, Busch Gardens, Nickelodeon and the Ringling Brothers Circus.  Kumpra has made all sorts of things for wonderful people with amazing imaginations!

pete smith

Peter Smith - A Safety Harbor native for 10 years. My journey in Florida began in 2007 as a student of University of Tampa. I arrived here from the Boston region with passion for the arts and culture. I identified mostly as a punk influenced skateboarder with apptidue in painting, drawing and music composition primarily piano and guitar. As an active artist, musician and engineer I graduated from University of Tampa with a BS in chemistry. I became involved with the art comunity in Ybor city and moved to Safety Harbor after graduating college. I have always kept skateboarding and the arts close to my heart, while professionally performing duties as a chemist and now as an engineer for software development. My passion and general style revolve around the enigmatic. I seek to produce art that inspires inquisition and evokes the observer to look deeper for obscured messages as one of my favorite passions is crytography. I enjoy vibrant colors and busy compositions to overwhelm the senses as an expression of my own feelings and how they correspond to the environment we all participate in. I see art as a form of abstract comunication, a dialogue only deciphered by the unconscious or subconcious. I attempt to organize these messages as a form of thereputic meditation for the purpose of inspiring others and better understanding myself.

#SHAMcARTreach School Srojects--Jan-May 2019
5 schools-3185 kids
We created 5 large scale mosaic murals that are permanent public art installations at 5 Pinellas County schools most of the funding for these projects is supported by the referendum money which is designed to support special projects for art music and literature, among other things.
Thanks to all the people that voted for the referendum.

A note from Heather Richardson who spearheads these #SHAMcARTreach Projects------
Thank you to my Art Teachers for their support in creating the tiles and special pieces for our murals, and of course the kids for all their hard work. Thanks to my volunteers Jackie M.-Bev D.-Sharon-Pam B. and

Thanks to our Referendum money that our voters support in Pinellas County, I was able to apply for a special project through our art department.  Heather Richardson worked with our school to create this mosaic mural.  Every student in the school participated in the process!

HEATHER RICHARDSON MOSAIC ARTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE TEACHES CHILDREN AT BAY AREA SCHOOLS 
For #SHAMcARTreach Heather worked with the children at Curtis Fundamental for 2 weeks in January, 2019
Art teacher Linda Hilterbrandt and all the children at the school created tiles for this project from the beginning of the school year to be ready for this project. The classroom was set up in 4 stations and children rotated during each class so that Heather could help 4 kids at a time to help them learn how to break and nip tiles and how to arrange the mosaic. The kids love to break and nip!
Finished size of this mural is 9 ft tall and 10 ft wide with 3 other sections that are on columns below this piece.

#SHAMcARTreach Project
Costa Rica 2019
Murals and Mosaics
​12 members of the SHAMc Collective painted Container Cabinas at a Yoga Teachers Training Retreat in Puerta Viejo Costa Rica with Lead Muralist Beth Warmath- We created murals and mosaic art in trade for room and board from our host Mike, Yvonne and India Humphreys
Member of the SHAMc Collective that participated in this #SHAMcARTreach are Beth Warmath, Todd Ramquist, Kiaralinda, Ed Derkevics, Siobhan Nehin, Demeree Barth, Terri Gray, Mike Montiki, John Comer, Jen Shipley, Rosario Psy, Sonata Kazimieraitiene

The process....Mike our host wanted his 12 container cabinas painted with imagery of the indigenous and medicinal plants that grow on his finch(farm)yoga retreat. It was a true collaboration of 12 artists that had not all met before to please the client and we succeeded!! There was a lot of prep work, finding supplies, problem solving and priming to be done to create these masterpieces desired. Twelve murals and a completed mosaic on the kitchen sink were what we accomplished in 7 days.

Grapefruit Art Gift to Safety Harbor
Todd and Kiaralinda rallied a group of artist friends to mosaic a few and paint a lot of buildings with the Safety Harbor 'fruit' the grapefruit. It was in honor of the soon to be Grapefruit festival that was going to be happening in a few weeks. Our public #ARTreach was a gift to our city in honor of the festival. A few are still in existence today but sadly most have been painted over.
