The Westbury Worm

Croix Lindsay is excited to see worm project grow.

Croix Lindsay (pictured), 5, created a neighborhood art project that is spreading throughout her neighborhood. With help from her parents, Courtney and Michelle Lindsay, Croix started the Westbury Worm, an art project made from a series of painted rocks, as a fun pandemic activity where neighbors are safely creating a work of art together. Together, the Lindsays painted the first rock, the worm’s head, in a green and red design, and then set it outside their house. Soon, neighborhood children and adults started painting their own rocks and adding them to the growing rock animal. On the sidewalk in front of the Lindsays’ home, the worm grew to nearly three feet, with rocks speckled with purple, pink, and blue paint.
