Artist Statement:

The Love of Food:

"Each fruit or vegetable is

carefully chosen for its full

palette. These foods are from

local gardens, farmers

markets and natural food stores.  I enjoy photographing the still-lives in natural light and up

close to compose with a sensual feeling of abstraction.  Photo prints and oil paintings are

then created based upon my photographic portfolio."

"My passion lies with this culinary art.  My food art inspires me to prepare natural, good

tasting foods with shapes, textures and colors, making it more fun to eat and uplifts the

whole entertaining experience.  Enjoy the pleasure of eating."

Commissions welcome, please contact me for more information.

New artwork may be available in March, 2012.
