My dream, ever since middle school, was to be an artist. By college age, I knew that the likelihood of making a career out of painting was slim, but that did not stop me from getting a BFA. If someone asked me what my plans were after graduation, I would tell them, "All I know is what I don't want to do - I don't want to work in a kitchen." I knew full well how labor intensive cooking and baking were because I had always been my mom's assistant in her culinary endeavors.
Well, Ha! I've been working at the Riviera Bakehouse for 17 years. It has turned out to be a great creative outlet and I do feel at home in the bakery. But I have never stopped painting. Often my pieces don't leave my studio, but I feel a need to keep producing. It is a mode of expression I can't achieve in chocolate and buttercream.
I created a website, a work in progress, to share my paintings.
