CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in food illustration began back when I was a student at RISD. I used the food I had on hand as illustration models. I realized I enjoyed drawing food much more than figure models. Food does not move and I had the added benefit of getting to eat it when I was done with the drawing. My food drawing expertise has grown over the course of my career as a freelance illustrator and package designer. What I love about drawing food is looking for ways to stylize the colors, shapes and textures to be the most graphically interesting.
