Projects
Dining Haul is an ongoing series of multi-media food themed art exhibitions using unconventional locations as gallery space such as the interiors of large moving trucks, meat lockers, and pastry kitchens. These shows include collaborations with chefs, writers, musicians, and corporate sponsors.

Arte da Mangiare is the New York counterpart to the long running Milano, Italian festival, which focuses on the sensory relationship between food and art using both public and private locations such as restaurants, villas, parks, galleries, and museums.
