CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in food illustration began while serving as Illustrator of Exhibit Identification at the New England Aquarium. Editors from The New York Times food pages saw these aquatic illustrations and commissioned me to illustrate recipes for the Sunday food page, including still-life and step-by-step instructional imagery. This editorial work led to collaborations with cookbook publishers and well-known chefs (7 books). As a food illustrator, I enjoy cooking each recipe, arranging these inanimate objects, and then focusing on composition. These images are often presented on porcelain illustrated dinnerware I have created, or pieces inherited from my mother, an avid antique collector.
