Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Micheal Haley San Diego Blood Orange Oil Painting Artist Statement The evolution of life to death is a cycle that I’ve been unable to think about in a warm and accepting light. I’ve always been afraid of dying and viewed it with saddening thoughts of the loss that would be left behind. Hoping to stop focusing so much energy on an inevitable part of being alive, I made a conscious decision to change the way I think and feel about this unavoidable fate. This exhibit explores the process of maturation and decay of organic objects, specificallyRead More →

Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Jennifer Rosner Studio City, Ca Rose Garden Mixed Media Artist Statement While baking a cake Jennifer Rosner wondered what it would look like if she dropped food coloring into the batter while she was mixing it with an electric mixer. Although it didn’t quite work as she expected, she did find out that the consistency of the batter made a perfect canvas to “paint” on. The rest as they say is history and she has been creating art with cake batter and food coloring ever since. I love roses because their energy vibrates so high. IRead More →
Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Sara Mills Columbia, South Carolina Cantaloupe Oil Painting Artist Statement I am drawn to simplicity, and often find beauty in things that are commonly overlooked. Through the process of painting, I am able to escape from reality and lose myself within a creative world of color, line, and texture. Through a simplicity of subject matter and the intimacy of a brush stroke, I hope that my work provides the viewer with a similar experience of escaping from the chaotic world to appreciate the simple parts in life that are often overlooked.Read More →
Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Sara Mills Columbia, South Carolina Tomatoes Oil Painting Artist Statement As we grow older, we often lose appreciation for the simple aspects of life, as our focus is redirected towards the future and preparation for tomorrow. Through my work, I hope to spark a renewed appreciation for the simple things in life that are often overlooked or forgotten about, as time passes by. In this painting, the tomatoes are given an aesthetically pleasing quality beyond their typical association as a fundamental food item. The complementary reds and greens that dominate the canvas draw attention to theRead More →

Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Shimae Parks Lancaster Green Apple Digital Art Artist Statement I was born in Mission hills, CA, to a loving mother and father: Albert and Annette parks. Although my family separated when I was very young my parents were still actively in my life. My mother moved to Michigan to raise me next to my loving grandmother while my father stayed in CA.

Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Edie Karras Minneapolis, Minnesota Celery Digital Art Artist Statement Two years ago my partner and I decided to move her mother into our home to live out her remaining years. We never thought “easy”, but neither did we realize the complete and profound impact this would have on our daily lives. Throw in “7 yr. old son” and “partner entering grad school yet still working full time” and you might get a sense. While my world shrank, my photography – blessedly – grew in ways I never expected. The work became extremely localized – my house,Read More →

Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Chalda Maloff Austin, Texas Raspberry Close Up Acrylic Painting Artist Statement My art reflects my abiding optimism and faith in the order of our world. My process consists of working shapes and colors towards an expressive whole that will have the power to evoke emotion, sensuality, and spirituality. In my “Close-Ups” series of artworks, I seek new perspectives on familiar objects by depicting them at a range in which they are seldom viewed. Each tightly composed image shows some physical object in a conventional three-dimensional geometry, but at a proximity in which its exact identity mightRead More →

Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Aishwarya Bavle Louisville, Ky Untitled Oil Painting Artist Statement Using the concept of cubism, the painting freezes the activity “pouring coffee of the perfect consistency into a cup” with separate architectural frames.

Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Aishwarya Bavle Louisville, Kyaishwaryabavle.com Filter Coffee Oil Painting Artist Statement This painting depicts South Indian filter coffee served in the traditional steel tumbler placed in a wide metal saucer with raised lipped walls. Filter coffee is essentially the espresso of my country. It is a hot and frothy drink made with dark roasted arabica or robusta coffee beans which are native to the region. An additive chicory comprises 20-30% of the coffee mix . While the coffee is drunk from the tumbler, it can be cooled if needed by pouring it out on the saucer. TheRead More →
Food for Thought Call for Entries Accepted Artists Artist Monika Malewska Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, USA Chicken With Dentures Watercolor Artist Statement My most recent series of paintings consists of large scale watercolors depicting various wreath-like arrangements made of bacon. Most of them are symmetrical and somewhat reminiscent of the Rorschach ink blot test. I enjoy combining the formal elegance of design with the recognizable banality of bacon, along with the surreal and absurd accompaniment of other decorative elements such as flowers, butterflies, and fruits. The arrangements are playful and whimsical in a rococo fashion but also grotesque In my not-so-still still-lifes, I am hoping to drawRead More →
