I studied at SMFA (School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) from 2003–6. And, like many peers, at that time, didn't get into the school's official landscape painting class. Therefore, I endeavored to come up with a landscape-making alternative, using food as subject matter. Having never really enjoyed creating traditional still-lives, the opportunity to turn food into landscape proved stimulating, challenging, and rewarding. Also, ultimately, it led me to develop new bodies of work not modeled on what others, whose work I knew, seemed to be doing, or had done. "Snack Happy," a series of 16 oil painted eight inch square canvases became my 06 graduating piece—and precursor to the subsequent 07 Florence Biennale Exhibit, "Buon Appetito!". In the display below, the images are arranged in alphabetical order.
