"The day is coming
when a single carrot,
freshly observed,
will set off a revolution."
​
-Paul Cezanne


That
day is
here.
I believe creativity is a tool to slow down and deeply connect with food. This belief grew out of my own disconnect to my plate and body.
​
After growing up in Oklahoma City with no awareness for the path food took before it landed on my plate, I moved to Northfield, Minnesota where my eyes opened to the beauty of locally grown produce.

Mesmerized, I began making drawings and prints based on the cross-sections of different foods. When I showed this artwork in galleries and cafes, I found an interesting pattern in viewers' responses:
​
With a print of a cabbage they would say,
​
"Oh, that's my brain!"
​
With a print of a pomegranate, they would say,
​
"Oh, that's my heart!"
​
Viewers saw their own bodies before seeing the food.
"YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT"
TOOK ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING.
​When I moved to New Mexico after dreaming of living here since I was a kid, my passion for art and food led me to work with farmers at the Santa Fe Farmers' Market and Groundstone Farm - work I continue to learn from today.
​
My work in the fields has given me a deep reverence for the farmers who cultivate the land and provides a continuous source of inspiration that pours into my illustrations and designs.
