About Artwork: Food is one of the most basic everyday objects and has long been a recurring subject in still life painting. It's representations always reflects a particular time and place and can evoke anything from abundance to decay to wealth or spirituality. I enjoy exploring the storytelling opportunities of still life. In this painting, I set up a scene that fills the page with abundance, reminding me of my son's enthusiasm for a luscious lunch.
About Artist: Kirsten Whalen is a native Californian, born and raised in Sacramento. She holds degrees in Design from the University of California, Davis, and in Fine Art Drawing and Painting from Laguna College of Art and Design. After several years working as a graphic designer in publishing, she refocused her creative efforts on fine art, working in watercolor and mixed media. Her background in the graphic arts is still evident in her work, in which she combines a keen eye for composition with deft touches of humor. She is drawn to still life as a form of narrative: the objects have stories to tell. Whalen is a regular exhibitor at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach and has works in private collections locally and across the United States.
