You don't see world-class track athletes running in skirts very often. But, then, Tasha Danvers isn't your ordinary track star. She's also a painter. As in artist. Check her site Danvers By Design for a gallery of her work (and prices, if you're interested in buying). She writes in her artist's statement:
"Art is such a wonderful thing. Each person sees it and feels it differently. There's no right or wrong, there's no true or false. What one person may see as a mess is an intricate beauty to another. Art is freedom of expression, art is an unleashing of the soul. That's the beauty of art."
Off the canvas and back on the track, Danvers, running for Great Britain, earned a bronze medal in the 400-meter hurdles in Beijing.
