The sugar cookies are drowning in granulated sugar and sugar cubes. The belly of the sugar jar reflects the sugar in the foreground and the lid has turned into a sugar cookie with a cube for a handle. It is soft, beautiful and dangerous where there are no limits to the landscape and our need for sugar.

Sea of Sugar

In this painting on Processed Foods I ask several questions. Is the soft, lovely, swirling forms of white sugar meant to describe the nature of the sweet substance or is it a dangerous rising level trying to drown out the box and the packet of Kool Aide? How much sugar is too much and do we consume more than we should?

Just Add Sugar

I am starting a new series about Processed Foods. This painting is about the sugar we consume. The glass full of Cherry Kool Aide is sitting in a sugar jar where there isn’t any room for the lid and sugar spoon. The environment consists of mounds and hill of sugar. The color appeals to kids, as does the twisting neon green straw, making it fun to drink.
