Local Artist
Food for thought By Allison Williams S
omewhere between the wine and warm flapjacks, sensuous chocolates and crisp green pears, Kedryn Evans had a problem on her hands. “Should I vote by what I like,” she wondered aloud, “or what I like to eat?”
If an art exhibit ever worked up an appetite, this was it. On a recent Fourth Friday, the inti- mate gallery in downtown Fayetteville was full to bursting with paintings of food. They say
that cooking is the oldest art, and at Olde Town Gallery, the two collided in one giant feast. The crowd drooled over fresh figs, artichokes and strawberries, not to mention the real food, a special demonstration by fondue diva Nubian Farley. The names alone conjured memories – “Visions of Lemon Pie” for the tang of grandma’s meringue and the taste of summer’s first fruit with “Berry Licious.”
