FOR THE LOVE OF RUNNING
I am a big-time runner, marathoner + post-race beer connoisseur. I love the feeling of lacing up my shoes and hitting the pavement. Running is just as much about the mental + emotional benefits as it is about the physical ones — it provides me with an escape from the world where I can think through anything or tune out everything. I love combining my passions for art/design + running — below is a smattering of running-themed artwork I’ve created.
Series I created for Global Running Day, June 2022
