Artist’s statement: Dave aims to capture the feeling of a bike ride through art. Whether it’s the silence and isolation of a cobbled track in a forest, the thrill of a descent, the effort of a climb, or the joy of seeing wildflowers and animals in the roadside verge. He finds art and cycling to be perfect companions, one feeds the other.
