Through commissions and the generosity of my wonderful boyfriend, Dave Perry, and his wonderful shop, Bikeworks,
I've had the opportunity to paint many bikes previously ridden by people I've never met.
It's fun to let my eyes and brush run over the rides worn and loved by strangers.
The details of these bikes, chosen with care and necessity and worn by miles,
are messages to me that the promise, power and joy of riding a bike are universal.
