March Debuts Food Photo Exhibit
Gourmet kitchen and pantry retailer, March, in San Francisco will feature an exhibition by food photographer, Paulette Tavormina.
The New York City artist creates sumptuous food photos that have the air of 17th century Old Master still-life paintings of food and flora. Tavormina styles each photograph with the utmost of detail and makes dramatic use of light.
March will display 16 of her works from March 14 to June 1.
Just think: You can take in an art show, then shop for table linens, cast iron cookware and gourmet jams to create your own tableau at home.
