In 2014, I took a trip to the Netherlands to visit family. While there, I rediscovered my passion for biking. When I returned to Washington, DC, I started biking more, which helped me not only feel more connected to the world around me, but also to my community. In the fall of 2016, a good friend of mine suggested we "melt some shit" and make some art. These are not just old bike parts or pieces of art. They hold pieces of my heart. They are emblems of a 10 year journey to self discovery that started in 2010 when I quit my job. I didn't know it at the time, but it was a turning point for me... an invitation to shed the old and make room for the new.
This is the new.
These are pieces of my journey. Inspired by my love of biking, the natural world, and forward movement and growth. I offer them to you as tokens of hope to help you along your own path of change.
