By Katelyn Johns
September 20, 2012 12:00 AM
Julie Kirk Purcell, chalk artist, kneels down on the warm sidewalk, her canvas. All she has is a small bucket of chalk and a duster. She swings her baseball cap backwards and starts to work. Color by color, layer by layer, the sidewalk is transformed; a masterpiece is born. Her now-dusty, dirty hands contrast with the brilliant colors on the pavement.

By Katelyn Johns
September 07, 2012 12:00 AM
Fred Howard sat quietly in the back of the old Tabernacle one evening, listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir practice.
