A Florida mom has been using chalk to spread some laughter and cheer in her community. Casey Drake is a former science teacher, mother of two and now a sidewalk artist. She’s been brightening up the streets of Winter Park with hilarious illustrations of Disney characters coping with social distancing. Casey was inspired to start drawing the cartoons after she saw other stories of people writing chalk messages of hope for passerby. She added that drawing has been therapy and stress relief for her as well.
