Artist Statement: This piece was a part of a series, "Food Is How We Say 'I Love You'." This series follows my relationship with food and my parents. The images are drawn from times I would stand beside them and just watch and try to learn, to make what they made, to do as they did. Standing beside my mother as she taught me to cook is something that is engrained into my memories. This painting represents my relationship with my mother and the passing of traditions.
