The journey towards my thesis began almost 4 years ago, in September 2005, when I packed everything that could fit into my car and drove to Savannah. It is hard to believe that I am now just a couple weeks away from hanging my show. The cards are at the printers, the work is (almost) [...]

This weekend was the first Starland Farmer’s Market of the season. Yeah! I got some beautiful vegetables and wanted to share them. I had never cooked beets before, let alone golden beets, but in the spirit of adventure and a little chili oil it all became a delicious dinner.
