Usually, the local chalk artist can be found in the ByWard Market, drawing reproductions of classical paintings on the pavement.
Pelletier is a modern-day madonnaro — an Italian word meaning pavement artist — a tradition that dates back to the 16th century.
CBC intern, Kate Tenenhouse, takes a look at Pelletier's unconventional day at the office in a short documentary airing on Our Ottawa this week. You can also watch it in the player above.
