First-place winner Raysha and third-place winner Erin at work.

Corporate and Brookfield Square employees channeled their inner street artists on Tuesday in a sidewalk chalk-art contest as part of our employee giving drive for Milwaukee’s United Performing Arts Fund. Teller Raysha Marrero took first place, followed by runner-up team deposit operations supervisor Kristin Hoch and rep Vincent Hoch, and universal banker Erin Hunsberger in third.

“I just went on Pinterest for inspiration and saw the hand, remembered how much I enjoyed drawing hands, and decided to do that,” Raysha said. “I’ve been making art since I was little and throughout high school. It is something I still do as a hobby when I get the chance. I was just doing it for fun, but it is always nice to win sometimes!”
