Warm greetings to you,
During the past year, I hope navigating a new road has been easier with fewer twists, turns, and detours. I hope you arrived at your destination with an easier direct route, finding gratitude and a joyful entry to the 2024 New Year.
Many best wishes to you and yours.

Je suis folle de bicyclettes! When I ride my bike, I feel free. The vibrant motion of riding creates a connection with my teammates. Energy intersects when riders are traveling together side by side. And it becomes more spirited in a continuous pace line or when a sprint occurs.
The bicycle frame’s core geometry and design, developed a century ago, remain works of pure beauty. Only the materials and components have advanced in sophistication. When I look at them, I see their simplified forms of triangles, circles, and curved lines. Color abounds in cycling through the bike’s various materials, clothing, and accessories. So I use color to express the energy and relationships of the bicycles to one another. Also, by reducing them to their core geometric shapes, I can play with the space within the composition. However long the duration of the activity, my worries vanish when riding just as they do when drawing. Ultimately, I want to share the colorful fun of cycling.
