Collaboration on art & edibles with Beverly Kim, Top Chef Finalist and Executive Chef of Bonsoirée

I am excited to announce that I'll be one of the four artists collaborating with amazing chefs to create collaborative artwork/edibles pairings for this year's Starving Artist event at The CAC.

FEATURED ARTIST & CHEF PAIRINGS:

• Jenny Kendler + Executive Chef Beverly Kim of Michelin-starred restaurant Bonsoirée

• Laura Letinsky + Food Preservationist Tara Lane of Jane Addams Hull-House Museum

• Jeanne Dunning + Executive Chef Jared Van Camp of Nellcote

• Erik Peterson + Sous Chef/Head Butcher Erling Wu-Bower of The Publican

Last year's inaugural Starving Artist event featured the following ARTIST & CHEF PAIRINGS:

Painter Richard Hull + Stephanie Izard of Girl & the Goat
Sculptor Lauren Brescia + Hilary Blanchard-Rikower of one sixty blue
Painter Tim Anderson + Koren Grieveson of Avec
Painter Judy Ledgerwood + Randy Zweiban of Province

UPDATE: The event was a huge success and "Pair Bond" was won in auction by a wonderful collector. Beverly and I were on live morning television for ABC7 news to promote the event, which was a truly strange experience. Everyone loved the dish we collaborated on: a "nest" of kimchi and spaghetti squash savory pancake with mock poisonous yellow lichen and a gorgeous preserved "century" quail egg.
