Influenced by 17th & 18th century master still life painters for their lighting and placement of objects has added depth and passion to my work. For the past 8 years I have been getting my produce and inspiration from local farmers markets and working to capture the beauty of our often taken-for-granted food. I collect the vegetables, style and photograph them over a period of several days. In the image included, "Hot Summer Still Life", I was not happy with what I got, they sat…and sat. Returning to them a few days later, I noticed some wilting, cracking and discoloration taking place and realized there is beauty even in the aging process. The ancient belief that “imperfection is perfect” is true for vegetables as well as for humans. Tastes mature and ripen with age. To complete my study I added the fresh peas for contrast and captured it.
