Hi, I’m Lisa Sandrowicz!
I’m a certified master chalk artist, art instructor, and founder of One in a Milian Designs LLC. My passion for creativity began during my high school years in the Tampa Bay area of Florida, where I explored various art mediums and techniques. Encouraged by an inspiring art teacher and driven by a love for creative expression, I took every available art class and earned first place in my senior art show. These early experiences laid the foundation for my lifelong artistic journey.
After graduating, I spent three transformative years living in Japan, where the culture, colors, and vibrant themes sparked new inspirations that would later influence my work. Upon returning to Florida, I completed an Associate’s degree in Web Design, but my creative passions continued to draw me back to the arts. It wasn’t until 2016, while managing a restaurant and designing chalkboard signs, that I stumbled into the world of chalk art. That first piece ignited a spark that grew into my full-time passion for creating large-scale, temporary art that connects with communities.
When I’m not chalking, I’m exploring my other creative outlets. I teach “paint and sip” painting classes, including one-on-one lessons, group classes and private events & parties, where I help others unleash their inner artist. I also teach chalk art workshops for both children and adults, mentor aspiring artists, and manage my two YouTube channels. On @OneinaMilianDesigns, I share my art and adventures, while @OneinaMilianSims focuses on my love of storytelling and creativity in The Sims 4. I’m always juggling multiple projects—whether it’s teaching, creating content, or experimenting with new art techniques—but I thrive on creativity and connection.
My goal is to inspire the next generation of chalk artists and grow the chalk art community by supporting new towns and cities in hosting their own chalking events. Together, we can bring more art, joy, and connection into the world.
