Oil and Dirt Vol. 2 Art Show

 OIL AND DIRT VOL 2

Openings June 1st & July 6th 2018
 - 5pm
Boxcar Gallery - Denver Colorado


 A celebration of the pursuit of adventure in art! Wether you’re on two wheels or four wheels you have an itch to travel, explore and seek adventure this art show is for you. The concept behind “Oil and Dirt” is to capture the spirit of those seeking to adventure the world.

I was honored and delighted to be invited to create work for this show and I orchestrated 3 Moto adventure related pieces in this show. These original works will include 1 oil painting which depicts camping and the epic Colorado landscapes, and 2 watercolors from the Tiny Windows Collection. This project is a collection of watercolors inspired by people who are out riding and doing amazing things on their Motorcycles. The Celebration of the Rider! I will have prints of these works and a few from the Female Riders series. Works from several other artists and photographers will also be on display and I couldn’t be more honored to be invited to be a part of them. This show is curated by Enrique Parilla, a phenomenal Photographer and artist himself. His handle is eparrillaphotos so check out his work on social media!

Location: 554 Santa Fe Dr, Denver, CO 80204, USA

Joey and the Chopper Boys - Jack Schit

"Joey and the Chopper Boys - Page 25" Throughout this children's book there has been many small and important details added to show my appreciation to the people I have met and who have inspired me along this journey.  On page 25, during the culminating event of the book, Joey is presented with the  "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD"!  Who better to present this award than the Legendary Jack Schit himself.  Jack can be found at motorcycle events all over the country bringing life and animation to any biker event. I am happy to have shared many good times with this man and thrilled to be able to include his presence in this children's chopper experience. "Right then, so loud the entire neighborhood could hear, the emcee blasted to the crowds that it was time to announce the "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD".  Joey remained quiet and calm as she hoped with all her might that all the work she did to her bike would be well received.

Jasper Lake - A Night Away

Image
  One of my favorite things to do in Colorado is overnight backpacking trips. The physical challange, the sense of accomplishment and the quiet relaxation are all food for the soul! On this occasion Charlie and I decided to take the Jasper Lake trail, just out side of Nederland, a place where many spectacular trails begin. The total trip length is a moderate 9 mile round trip with just under 2000 feet total elevation gain. In my opinion trails of this length are perfect for an overnight camping trip as you are able to get up to the top early enough to enjoy the quiet wilderness.   The trail starts at the Hessie Trailhead and takes you though the Indian Peaks Wilderness with epic views of Mt Jasper, Mt Neva and Klondike Mountain in the distance. The ascent is pretty even most of the way up with only a few moderate switchbacks as you wind through meadows and dense woods. We went up this trail in June, this time of year you will need a permit and I have to admit we forgot to secure s

Counting Miles - Two Wheel Challenge

Image
  No matter where he is going my husband, Charlie, counts miles. I think this is reminiscent of his bicycle racing days or his addictive personality, but no matter where he picked it up, Charlie is always racking his brain about how many miles he has put under his belt. It is personal pride in the thing he loves which is an inspiring thing to watch for many of us. When he decided to enter the Peaks to Plains summer long mileage contest, where the winner received a motorcycle, I thought oh great... here we go just put the alcoholic right in the bar why don't ya!   He was concerned he wouldn't be able to do well considering we were getting married this summer and that combined with being out of the country for the honey moon would put him 3 weeks behind everyone, especially Louise. Louise and Charlie are one in the same and that's why I love them both. They both count miles, they both like to win, and they both entered the contest. Louise was his biggest concern right up
