Early last winter I purchased a wonderful piece of cheese at Di Bruno Brothers<\/a> in Philadelphia. That chunk of Gorwydd Caerphilly<\/a> was so beautiful and appetizing to me that I was compelled to paint it before eating it.<\/p>\n

When I connect strongly with a subject like that, everything seems so natural in the process of the painting. I wanted more of it\u2014more cheese and more experiences connecting to the world of this handcrafted food.<\/p>\n

Without much knowledge of good cheese, I appealed to a friend I had previously met at a dinner party, Tenaya Darlington (a.k.a. Madame Fromage<\/a>). She became an enthusiastic mentor, taking me on various treks to find beautiful cheeses throughout Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

With Tenaya\u2019s encouragement, support, and ability to get as food frenzied about all things edible as I do, I learned so much about cheese and was inspired to create many portraits in the span of little more than four months.<\/p>\n

Each portrait is my way of translating the seduction and artistry of a cheese through sensitive means of color and thick surface texture.<\/p>\n

They are painted directly on professionally prepared, boxlike wooden surfaces. I choose to paint on a three-dimensional surface as a means of portraying the subjects as real objects and not merely flat reproductions.<\/p>\n

Through paint I want to re-create the desire for a singular piece of cheese, as I experienced it, as well as the reward of eating it.<\/p>\n

Each painting evokes the memory of this pleasure for me. Perhaps it will for you, too.<\/p>\n
