2024: MEALS I'VE LOVED
Having spent more than a decade traveling the South, documenting the region's food culture, many people I first interacted with as strangers eventually became good friends.They were always eager to share their stories and generous in sharing their food, whether a full meal or an impromptu snack, as soon as the business of my visit was over...Each shared moment, each bite of food, each generous and kind soul, has made a lasting impression on me, and some of them have inspired these paintings.

2018: SACRED SPACES

-Arie A. Galles, In Celebration of Improvisational Architecture: Beverly Buchanan
