Flourish
Taking on a challenge like a bike race takes guts, commitment, and consistent training. This painting is about pushing beyond your boundaries. It depicts the energetic and fiery spirit of the cyclists as they unleash everything they got before they cross that finishing line.
Brief artist’s statement: When I was one year old, I was nearly flattened by a truck in Germany, and it was a cyclist who swooped in to save me. My parents turned their backs for a moment, and I went rolling down the sidewalk in a stroller to meet impending doom. My parents were hysterical and chased me down. After they saw that I was okay, they looked up to thank the man on the bike. My parents said that he was nowhere to be seen. I had forgotten that story up until the time I won a cycling race poster contest in 2015 for the USA Pro Challenge in Colorado. Ever since then, it has deepened my connection to cycling.
