The art of storytelling is the story of Jake. Inspired by nature, cycling, and imagination, Jake shares his art with the rest of us in the form of huge murals which bring color and interest to public spaces around his hometown of Des Moines. His latest cycling-inspired work, along the Meredith Trail below SW 9th on The Depot, greets cyclists, runners and walkers as they wind their way through the city. We met along the trail next to his recently finished piece to talk about his art and how cycling inspired him to create.
