eat more ART
Food matters to me, inspires me. I believe that what we eat informs our health & happiness. I’m not talking about counting calories or carbs. I am concerned with whole foods, grown locally with minimal processing. Real food. I am always delighted to see food inspiring others. Chocolate has inspired art, including a sort of painting, in the the pastry arts for years, but did you know there are chocolate portrait painters? No joke. This next call is looking for work done through a painterly process, but I’m guessing they aren’t expecting chocolate. Investigate for yourself…
