‘Dinner Party: Community Tables and Little Treats’

A studio preview of my “Dinner Party: Community Tables and Little Treats’ was held in Orquevaux, France at the Chateau d’Orquevaux Artist & Writers Residency on March 27, 2026. Champagne was poured and the “treats” throughout this new body of artwork were previewed for the first time! Now I’ll be sharing each piece with you from the comfort of your screen.

What do you take away from your dining and shared sipping experiences?

Dining with new conversations, new people, and in various atmospheres fuels growth , heals community, and pushes creativity. This new body of artwork captures items or “treats'“ found on dinner tables, coffee tables, and side tables after ideas have collided and new energies emerge. The “little treats” found in each painting are supporting playmates representing open hearts and curious minds that have been around the table. Treats can be food, drinks, luminating characters, and more. ‘Treats’ are items that are apart of a memory: visually, a taste, a feeling..and they come in all shapes and sizes.

I’m using new creative techniques in this body of work to capture objects, emotions, and ideas that are found when sitting around a table. There’s a strong sense of human connection before, during, and after a meal. Food and drink become the center—bringing people together, opening minds, warming hearts, and nourishing us in a world that can feel dark at times. Coming back to a community table can feel like home. A table abroad, a table at a friend’s house, an unexpected long conversation with a strangers when the tables are inches apart. Connection is the bridge that guides our curiosity and creates unity <3
