‘A Meal for One’
Have you ever noticed how many women stop cooking when it’s just for them?
This painting began as a quiet image I liked… but as I painted her, standing barefoot in her kitchen, I couldn’t stop thinking about how often we put our own care on hold unless someone else is around to receive it.
How many times have we grabbed cereal or toast instead of making ourselves something real?
This piece is about more than food.
It’s about how we rank our own needs.
It’s about tenderness—when no one’s looking.
It’s about making a moment matter, just for you.
