Why I Cooked Up Art Basil

Happy New Year

Happy almost New Year. I just wanted to tell you a little bit about why I started Art Basil. I am fascinated with the significant events and memories that food sparks. What we cherish about a recipe goes beyond its taste—it’s about the experiences it evokes and the people who share it with us.

Through illustration, I aim to distill the memories and meaning food holds, removing it from its original context and reimagining it as something lasting. Each post is a labor of love, more like a special meal than something served daily or even weekly. I hope that every piece resonates deeply, like a dish prepared with care and intention.

With Art Basil, I celebrate these connections, using art to explore how food shapes our stories, relationships, and sense of self.

Thank you so much for joining me at my table. Art Basil is free so tell a friend, and recommend. The more the merrier.
