Temp WorkSome of us might think of "temp work" as a two-week job in an office grinding away in front of a computer. But not Lori Escalera. Working as a Modannari (Street Painter), Lori's temporary artwork is a source of joy for both artist and viewer.
This is a photo of her Trompe L’Oeil Koi Pond from a street painting event in Mission Viejo, CA.
She doesn't mind that the work is temporary. "It seems to be part of its beauty. People seem so sad to know that after the weekend the art will be gone. Washed away with the street sweepers. But life really isn't about permanence anyway!"
Lori is well-known to Culver City-ites. She is the founder and past president of the Culver City Art Group and her work shows up around the city in surprising places.

Now this is my kind of temp work!
