“While most of my work is realistic, I have been challenging myself to paint more complicated pieces that pull the viewer’s attention into the details. The colors and textures throughout my pieces evoke the senses of the viewer. The warm color palettes remind me of warm moments I share with friends having appetizers in my kitchen. I love using food to inspire my paintings. In the past I’ve painted corn, sandwiches, donuts, popsicles, and slices of pie. Hopefully my work will be enjoyed in the home or restaurant of another food and entertainment lover!”
