Night rider is part of my Portrait and Lens collection of humans and nature that explores wellness, mental health, the space-time continuum and metaphysics. Through symbolism and image silhouettes or "cut outs" one glimpses a look into a different lens. A photographer changes a lens on the camera for a different temperature or mood. I shift perspective and time within each "lens" painting. The inspiration for this body of work is healing. Each piece has a universal story of wellness and illness which is defined in imagery, symbolism, chakra color theory and an alternate lens perspective. Boise is a city of beauty filled with the spirit of adventure. Many locals commute by bicycle and hit the trails to clear their minds of the day and witness nature that surrounds our city. Many of us ride at night under the full moon and enjoy the sounds of crickets and quiet of the evening. I wanted this painting to create a sense of awareness of sharing the road with bicyclists in an area of high bike traffic as well as have the rainbow colors of acceptance and tolerance so that all feel that our growing city is safe and happy place to be.
