An interactive piece found at 2039 W. North Ave in Chicago. It's an honor to be a part of a Lyft street art tour, in which they'll be offering free rides to pieces they're commissioning all over the city. Be on the lookout for the dates...
I conceived of this work when I was transitioning from coaching youth soccer to painting full time. I'd done both part-time for years. As more opportunities came for art, I found all of my thoughts and energy directed toward painting. I realized I couldn't perform either at a high level when trying to do both. It was clear I had to make a change... it was time to direct all of my attention toward painting and move on from a career I had loved for over a decade.
That decision was made over a year ago. It's taken a while to find the right alley for the piece. The day after I wandered past this space and realized it would be perfect, Lyft contacted me to be a part of their tour. They loved the idea. Things rarely come together so effortlessly.
