- Biographical Information
- "I have always celebrated elements from my immediate surroundings and life, modest as they may be, and the small overlooked visual events that occur within them. The fleeting glance at a group of bicycles outside my studio window (one of which is the trusty Peugeot that has propelled me to various destinations in several states, during the last fifteen years) was one such moment. I was in graduate school, searching for what I thought I should paint, when all I needed to do was just look out and recapture the sense of delight held by the linear colored shapes of the three bicycles from above and by the shadows they created on the pavement. It was a quick, direct little painting. I remember sailing to and from classes at the University of Oregon by the way of the bike path along the Willamette, so it seems fitting that this piece has found a home in Eugene." Erskine, 1991
