“Bicycology" explores the connections between bicycles and street art. Sherri's paintings legitimize street art as landscape, showing beauty in hidden alleyways through a fine art lens. She turns a collage of many artists temporary and often changing murals into a piece of one artist's work, capturing a moment in time.

Bicycles and street art are symbols of various oppositional cultural movements, where they articulate an idea of an alternative society. Bicycles mobilize a political lifestyle, pushing for ever more freedoms through individual mobility of real and imagined horizons. Street art allows color to creep into even the dark corners of urbanity, celebrating self expression and communicating political messages; it's social media in the streets! Both bicycles and street art are expressions of the Self, represented here in these bicycle portraits.

A culture is reflected by its artists.  A street artist publicly displays this culture, reflecting the ethos of a city back to its people.  Historical roots, musical themes, and ethnic heritage are demonstrated in street artwork, showing the diversity and priorities of a city.

Using acrylic and simulating the spray of aerosol paint using hand held atomizers, I turn a collage of street artists temporary and often changing murals into a precious piece of one artist's work, capturing a moment in time.
