(from the Bliss Point series)

Combining paint and magazine images of desserts, this painting reflects the unhealthy relationship with food that many Americans have, which is contributing to epidemic levels of obesity, type-two diabetes, and other diet related diseases. Children especially seem trapped in the cycle of convenience, consumption, and craving, as they are powerless over the food they are raised on - food that is scientifically engineered with the express purpose of creating addictive responses in the consumer.
