CUISINE closeup

I have kept my word. I am taking fewer pictures of my food in public. You would be proud. I am amazed at how often I’ve finished a dish before it occurred to me “I should have photographed that”. Maybe I’ve just been too hungry by the time food arrives. And, while my Insta feed is decidedly less interesting, my food IS warmer. This next Call wants to know how social media has influenced YOUR work. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Colby-Sawyer College (New London, NH) for Photography in the Age of Social Media at the Marian Graves Mugar Art Gallery. Academic shows are good for your resume. I really like this one…

a clean PLATE

I had to throw out everything in my fridge & freezer Sunday. Due to the wildfire, my house was without power for a week. My groceries stewed. It wasn’t pretty. But, in my effort to find a silver lining, I will admit that a clean refrigerator is liberating. Now it is slowing filling with mustard greens, pickled beets & craft beer against a stark white background. It is a whole new energy like this new Call. An art publication opportunity…

WATER is essential.

People risk their lives to protect water, and where I live, people just lost their lives in want of water. I live in Cobbly Nob in Gatlinburg. On Monday, we realized Webb Mountain was on fire. As we fled our yard was on fire. Amazingly, our house escaped unscathed. The fear is/was real; we can talk about that later. I just can’t yet. In the meantime, here’s a call that wants WATER from you. I appreciate this approach to watercolor. Investigate…

I crave comfort food. I have always been an emotional eater, and in my defense, this year HAS sucked. Bizarre business twists, unexpected career delays, personal financial crisis followed by health issues, a relentless year of election propaganda and now a wildfire, a house robbery & now more dreams delayed. I want baked goods. Is there a healthier way to tackle trauma? Of course. Bite me. I need the comfort of things familiar like baked goods — and the venue for this next Call. It is a soft spot for me, and I want it to be for you. Love…

NUTTY bravery

Sometimes you just have to jump in and try. Wary of a new food? Hold your nose and stick out your tongue–it just takes a few seconds of bravery. This is how I learned that I hate pistachios and love goat cheese. By trying them. This Call will be the same idea for many of you. Fifteen dollars, five images and a clear vision of your project in written form. That’s all it takes. Maybe it is time to take the leap from local shows to national shows, from national to international shows, from juried to self-curated. You can do it. I know you can. If you need help, message me.

color me STUFFED

The Thanksgiving sea of brown food has passed. Luckily, my family forgoes the turkey, dressing, gravy & rolls thereby missing out on a good portion of the brownness of it all. I crave color even in my food. A star of this year’s menu was the beet & clementine salad. Beets are plentiful year around due to how well they do in cold storage. If you are one of those folks that swear they dislike beets, make a point to try them fresh roasted. (Message me for a recipe.) In the meantime, here’s a call that also craves color. Take a look…

fast FARE

The freezer saves dinner about two days a week in my house. We purposefully cook more portions than we can eat and save the leftovers. It started out as a way to send lunch with my kiddo for school, but it has become a dinner rescue regularly. When you get busy and have forgotten to plan for dinner and live nearly a half hour from the closest grocery or restaurant, you’re grateful for frozen leftovers. This next Call is not a leftover or frozen, but I did neglect to plan the publication more than a few days out from the deadline. Sorry about that…

seaside FARE

I grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the premiere food towns in the U.S. We were always proud of both the seafood & the fried chicken in the Holy City. And while Charleston-ians still have every reason to be proud of the fresh sea fare & deep-fried poultry, the food scene has developed as a shining example of the best of ALL things edible –French, Cajun, Greek & most other imaginable cuisines. The South isn’t just Southern, just like the jurors of this next Call. Investigate this one…
