Save the date! On Tuesday, September 12th at 6:00pm, St. Louis-based artist and author Sophie Binder will be speaking at The Green Center about her 2001 odyssey around with world with, you guessed it, two wheels and a sketchbook.

​In April 2001, she quit her job and put all her belongings in storage to fulfill a longtime dream to bicycle and sketch her way around the world. What followed was a solo adventure that would take her through 16 countries across Europe, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, New Zealand and the U.S., pedaling 14,000 miles in 14 months. She came back in June 2002 with seven sketchbooks full of watercolors and stories.

​She will share some of her art, several of her stories, and many of the insights she gained about the unity in variety of the human experience, and the beauty and empathy to be seen and shared on this third planet from the sun.

Finally, we will be able to meet Sophie Binder! Everyone knows that I am a huge fan of this author. Despite my love for her, I haven't gotten the chance to meet her because her book tours do not meet with my personal schedules. But now that she is set to go to The Green center, I would like to grab this opportunity to finally meet her. Only if she knew how much I love her, she would definitely know how important it is to meet her.
