Anna Brones is hands-down one of the most creative people I’ve been lucky to meet. Anna is an author, artist, amazing cook and cyclist.
I met Anna a few years ago on a bike tour with the Komorebi bike team, when we rode the Olympic Adventure Route and explored the Olympic Hot Springs. Anna was our head chef for nearly that entire trip, planning our meals, homemaking all the bread and snacks and keeping a crew of six well fed. (You can many of those recipes in her book “The Culinary Cyclist" - definitely recommend checking it out.)
Anna is always working on something - she just finished a two year long art project called “Women’s Wisdom Project” Anna explains “Women’s Wisdom Project is a collection of portraits and profiles that I started in 2018. The goal was the showcase the wisdom of inspiring, insightful women by making 100 papercut portraits. Each portrait is hand cut from a single piece of paper.”
All 100 pieces were up in a show for 5 days before it was shut down for COVID. Anna is currently selling many of the portraits, with 50% of the proceeds going to different non-profit groups. Find out more at her website.
I’m so excited for all of you to get to know my friend Anna Brones a little bit better this week. I hope you’ll check out her books, her art, and all the cool work she’s doing!
