Sculptor and Furniture Designer Expands Artistic Reach to Painting the Open Road


CruisinGoods.com is proud to announce the addition of paintings by Lorin Friesen to their inventory of motorcycle themed artwork.

Lorin Friesen’s vast range of artistic talents includes furniture design, sculpture and painting. He is the founder of Lorin Designs, a Texas based custom furnishing producer, and his work in sculpture can be seen on display at multiple public locations, including the Texas State Cemetery and the San Marcos City Hall. He currently resides in San Marcos, Texas, which he describes as “a relaxed community that has been a regular source of inspiration in his work.”
Friesen’s piece entitled “Motorcycle Heaven” is his first that focuses on the world of open roads. It superbly demonstrates Friesen’s alla prima (painting from life) technique that results in a realistic and natural quality to his work.

Motorcycle Photographer Fuses Images of Women and Machines


CruisinGoods.com is proud to announce the addition of Sara Liberte’s “Women and Machine Fine Art Series” photography to their inventory of motorcycle themed artwork.

Sara Liberte is an accomplished photographer, specializing in motorcycle and portrait photography. In addition to taking pictures of motorcycles, she designs custom paint jobs and custom-built motorcycles and has even written a motorcycle servicing book titled “How to Maintain and Repair American V-Twin Motorcycles”.

Liberte’s “Woman and Machine” fine art photography series uses an Image Fusion technique to combine individual images of women and motorcycle components and showcase the internal connection between women and machines. A quote from the artist explains further, “the motorcycle becomes an extension of your body; ‘Women and Machine’ is a way to visually express this connection.”

The featured piece, “Image Fusion 6”, exemplifies Liberte’s unique vision of this connection. Both the female figure and motorcycle components are easily identified, but at the same time blend together seamlessly to form a single bonded image.
