Tour de Yorkshire's official artist revealed

Paper-cut artist Anita Bowerman from Harrogate has been revealed as the official artist for the first ever Tour de Yorkshire.

She earned global recognition last year after creating a metre-high paper cut map showing the Grand Départ for the Tour de France.

The original is on display in her studio The Dove Tree in Harrogate, and features all the landmarks, attractions, countryside, historical details and even the tiny cyclists wearing their jerseys.

Now, Anita has created a special design for May's inaugural Tour de Yorkshire, featuring 12 cyclists racing around a bike wheel. It has been designed using just a pencil and compass and then hand cut from one piece of paper using just a tiny scalpel.
