Intimate Feasts
All Politics Are Local, 2012, Oil, 28” x 18”
Below are 16 of 80 (24” x24”) paintings.
The Intimate Feasts series captures the quiet joys of daily life, transforming shared meals into celebrations of connection and gratitude. These paintings, created with meticulous detail, honor intimate dinners with her husband and muse, Fred May, as well as gatherings with loved ones, reflecting the artistry of meal preparation and the profound bonds formed around the table.
Spanning 2004 to 2007, the series captures a period of joy and stability, later contrasting with the Portals of What Was and What Will Be series, which explores loss and the longing for reconnection. Together, these works create a poignant narrative, bridging moments of abundance with the hope of restoring togetherness disrupted by the pandemic.
Through Intimate Feasts, the artist reminds us to find beauty in the routine, embrace collaboration, and treasure life’s fleeting, meaningful moments.
