Have you heard?

It is TIME to put my work out in the world, not just on a wall!
Surface Design is the way to get your patterns and designs onto items like greeting cards, wrapping paper, journals, wallpaper, throw pillows, tea towels, sheets, etc. EVERYTHING you see is DESIGN.

I'm posting on my chef page because I belief that my food IS design. In fact, I'm hoping to make more drawings and paintings of FOOD for this career.

Please look and consider a small donation at the gofundme link below. I have the passion and skills, now I just need some hardware. We need this work right now to feed us.

Thank you for sharing this, and for being in my circle. Blessings on YOUR creative endeavors, always.

First time I’ve made bierocks.
You remember I was going to revise a family recipe in July 2020 on that Italy trip with David Chang. Well, I think I just redeemed that trauma!

Lean ground beef

Yellow onion
Caraway seeds
Crushed red pepper

Hot honey butter and flaky sea salt on top

What filling would YOU enjoy??

Culinary Art

I am an artist. Food happens to be my latest medium. I make art we get to eat! Like so many others, I’ve had a long struggle with food. Is it simply fuel, or an emotional crutch, a comforting friend, a gluttonous indulgence, a way to be with friends and family, an opportunity for creativity, a damaging addiction? YES to ALL. I’ve always been overweight, at times obese, all of my life. It’s a family trait. One we joke about and cry about, but at least we talk about it and try to help one another on our journeys. Three out of five of us have had gastric sleeve surgery. At a whopping 284 pounds, I decided to have the surgery when I had to ask for a seatbelt extension on an airplane. Diets had never worked, exercise was never enough; my metabolism was stubborn and set. I lost 90 pounds and kept it off for three years. Two years before the surgery I started getting serious about cooking at home. Now I cook every day, and I’m learning more about food, nutrition, tastes and portions. Since I’m an artist and teacher, I have a need to share my beautiful and delicious food with family and friends. I am obsessed, and it’s time to make this my full time gig. I want others to experience the health, joy, creativity and deliciousness of great food. I try very hard to adhere to the words of one of my greatest influences in the cooking world, Michael Pollan, who says “Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much” (Food Rules). Let me feed you. Bon appetit!
