And it's all to spread a little joy and positivity during these unprecedented and uncertain times.
With many locals forced to stay at home, venturing out only when they need to, such as to go shopping or exercise, and with local gyms, parks and pubs closed, and no dining-in at cafes and restaurants - the town, like others around the country, has become an isolated place.
Kristy Berry and her 17-year-old daughter Pascal - who are used to spending many weekends away and are now both working and studying from home - found a perfect avenue to keep themselves busy while also bringing a smile to lonely walkers, runners or riders.
The pair both love playing with art and have always enjoyed using chalk, and for the last two weeks have selected popular walking spots around town to create chalk art on footpaths.
"It's something to make people smile I guess, while they're out exercising and something that's not COVID-19 related," Kristy said.
"It's been quite nice seeing people's photos with them and kids are out there doing it now, like on their driveways."
Together Kristy and Pascal have drawn many hopscotches, flowers and rainbows, the iconic Monopoly Pass Go graphic, Disney's Thumper, the Hakuna Matata words on an African sunset and left numerous positive messages and quotes.
The recent rain has seen most of this washed away but on Easter Sunday they were at it again, leaving a message in the CBD and sketching officer Judy Hopps from Zootopia outside the Parkes Police Station.
They now have a pin board set up at home for inspiration and Kristy said people have been giving them suggestions and the best locations too.
"People have even been dropping off bits of chalk for us," she said.
"It uses up so much chalk... We've always had chalk, pastels and paint at home but since we started doing this we got more."
The project is honing the duo's art skills and they've learnt a few things along the way too, like not all concrete surfaces are suitable for drawing and that red chalk in particular, can stain your hands.
"I've never taken so much notice of the texture of concrete," Kristy laughed.
"But I've learnt the little things bring so much joy to people... Something so little to us can be so big to other people.
"It's blown us away the response.
"We saw an older lady out walking and she did the hopscotch as she walked past... And there have been some kids who didn't even know what a hopscotch was."
For Pascal, she's enjoyed spending more time with mum.
