2013 ARTIST of the YEAR: Sima Schloss

Posted on January 10, 2014April 24, 2018 by R.L. Gibson

HAPPY NEW food YEAR!

It’s January, and we’re thrilled to be in 2014! I am joyfully looking forward to a new year. 2013 was a year of growth for my family, my art, and for AAAD. There were wonderful food highlights including a renewed interest in baking. And AAAD covered some fantastic opportunities in 2013 and even more fantastic artists. Which leads us to our proud announcement…

Today we name the
2013 Artist of the Year!

•

When AAAD began in 2009, I was determined to cover art deadlines, and more importantly, artists producing really good ART. And, after I chose a few artists, I quickly realized that the Featured Artist program needed structure, or it would never really get done on any sort of regular basis. That is how the Featured Artist Contest was born. (The Featured Artist program was retired in 2015 and replaced with the Artist of the Day program.)

The Featured Artist Page was getting crowded and each post was lessening the impact. I began archiving artists yearly, and the Artist of the Year was born.

I now give all of our Featured Artists each year notice that at the end of the year, the Artist of the Year will be determined by the number of comments on their individual Featured Artist blog posts.

Congratulations to Sima Schloss,
AAAD’s 2013 Artist of the Year

I followed up with Sima to find out what’s new: “Yay!! Thanks so much- Im so honored to be the winner!!! Whats going on now with my work now? Lets seeI am one of the winners of ArtAscent Magazine’s Dark Issue (December, 2013) ArtAscent.com, and my work ‘New Sheriff’ is featured on the cover!!! I have a group show in the works coming this Spring (details in the near future), and a collaboration in the works as well. I’m also in process of revamping my website!”

And new foods? Are there any new tasty morsels inspiring you? “I had the most incredible Brussels sprouts at my friends place the other night! I think I’ve only tried them a couple of times in my life, but these were outstanding. They were cooked in garlic & oil and had some incredible seasoning--I was in heaven! I’ve also really been into red and yellow peppers as well, they are so great with labneh (an incredible lebanese dip) hummus or guacamole.” Editor’s note: I’ve rediscovered the mini sweet peppers in my produce aisle. They have a milder flavor and crisper texture and ROCK stirfry dishes.

I have enjoyed getting to know you, Sima. I am inspired by your work. It is an expression of freedom, limitless potential and self awareness. I LOVE the work, and I’ve enjoyed forging a slow and easy friendship. YOU were my reward for choosing to feature your WORK. Thank you, Sima, for being a highlight of the AAAD year! Get to know Sima Schloss yourself.

*Editor’s Note: Sima remains one of my favorite people, and her work has grown and developed, surpassing anything I could have imagined. She was featured again in 2017 as an Artist of the Day!

CALL for ENTRIES: Sustainable WEST

Posted on December 30, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

GREEN
is more than
GREENS

Truly living green in the kitchen is a touch complicated. Yes, I can buy locally sourced, sustainable foods. But, as we work toward designing a kitchen for the straw bale house we plan to build this year, do I really have it in me to skip out on a traditional stove/oven for a wood-burning or rocket stove/oven? Not so sure. But while I’m contemplating it, I can at least submit sustainably-themed work for this next Call. How about you?

CALL for ENTRIES: Figuratively Speaking

FAT free
CARB free
SUGAR free
stop

Because you know I’ve been a foodie for so many years, it should come as no surprise that my weight has fluctuated for decades. I have been everything from a size 8 to a size 24 over the years. I have given up carbs, given up fat, eaten only fruit, eaten only soup… You name it, and I’ve tried it. Nothing ever worked for long. Then I was forced to quit eating wheat, and my weight stabilizes. Go figure. I’m not a size 8, or a 24, but I haven’t gained or lost more than 2 lbs in 8 months. This next Call is all about YOUR figure. Take a look…

OPEN CALL: Flow 2014

Posted on October 31, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

RECIPE
for success

Everyone I know makes at least one dish that makes people ask, “How do you make that?” Mine has changed over the years from hollandaise sauce to creamed spinach to 40 spice hummus. Similarly, everyone who is in arts management or administration hears the same question, “How do I get a solo/group show in a gallery?” This next Call answers that question. Take a look…

FISHY

I live in a town with a population of approximately 3500. We have 1 zip code & area code, 1 post office, and…one grocery store. Luckily, the popularity of my hometown with tourists affords a few luxuries like a recently renovated produce and seafood section in our lone grocery store. I bought salmon there last week, and it came wrapped in paper. Paper. Lovely. Thank you for not adding another piece of plastic wrap to my grocery cart. There is a time and place for paper, and this next Call would be another of them. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Slate

Posted on August 19, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

clean your
SLATE

While on vacation, I ate slate grilled baby back ribs for the first time. Yum. You have to get past the idea that the slate is porous and might contain other food cooties from previous usage because that is part of what makes cooking with slate fantastic. Think of it as browning your grilled cheese in bacon grease. Yum, again. This next Call wants your stated inspiration. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Paint

Posted on August 17, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TO OLIVE
or not to olive

Olive oil flows freely in my kitchen. I use it in everything from the obvious, sauteed mushrooms and onions, to baking and sweet treats like peanut butter cookies and brownies. Olive oil when combined with onions, celery and carrots become the foundation for almost every savory dish that exits my kitchen. It is the basis upon which everything else is built. Many feel that paint occupies that same space in the arts. This next Call wants your view on the media…

Vacation has not been kind to my figure. Tomorrow is the last day of my summer vacation at Lake Lure (Dirty Dancing & Last of the Mohicans were filmed here), and I am already trying to figure out tomorrow’s food schedule and we’ve just finished with today’s brunch.

RED and GREEN
make brown

My cooking could be kindly described as abstract. As long as I get the flavor profile correct, I tend not to care if it actually looks like the textbook dish.
