PORTFOLIO
While interconnected, my work broadly fits into the four boxes of ‘education’, ‘art’, ‘events’, and ‘consulting’. In each box ‘Cake & Conversation’ are fused to create learning, strategic action, and joy for social change.
I look forward to helping you create the ‘Cake & Conversation’ experience that is right for you, your group or your organization.
ART
My cake, food, and wor(l)d art are meant to be aesthetic, sensual, and joyful but don’t shy away from being clever, bold, and taking a stance for justice and love. While made for personal delight, art naturally flows into my educational experiences as well as into the event and consulting services I provide.
I am happy to create a piece of food or word art for your organization, for a personal occasion such as birthdays or weddings or just for you.
FEEDING CONNECTION W/ POSTCARD ART
Workshop designed and facilitated for the Red Hot Art Festival (Summer 2021)
The workshop set out to weave threads of connection by embracing the art of the postcard. Postcards are mini canvases that inspire artistic expression and are messengers of joy, surprise, kindness, and care. Together participants created postcards to share with neighbors in the Stevens Square community of Minneapolis. For a full workshop description, click here.
FAKE CAKE MUSINGS
Since 2018, the miniature black forest fake cake has audaciously explored nature, cityscapes, words, surfaces, patterns, shapes, and other curiosities, creating joy, wonder, and awareness for everyday beauties and things that matter but too often go unseen.
Here’s a selection of fake cake adventures in food and life.
VALUE FOOD ART OF THE MONTH
Art Project developed at Paladin Career and Technical High School (School year 2019/2020)
Values are important guiding principles for both individuals and societies. The purpose of the “Value Food Art of the Month” series was to artistically reflect on the monthly school value and make it come to life for students through two basic human needs: words and food.
BREAD ART
Designed for the Laune Bread Fund
A small initiative supported by members, friends, strangers and community of Laune Bread which has turned into a bread fund that helps anyone in need of a little bread love in Minneapolis. Through the Laune Bread Fund over 900 loaves of bread love have been donated to community members since March 2020.
