This juried exhibition presents a banquet of art filled with delectable representations of comfort food, cultural touchstones, home cooking, and fanciful dining. Food and eating is a central part of human life – one of the few truly universal things that connects us all. Food is fuel, and engaging with it can range in experience from banal to transcendent. Food can delight or disgust, provide comfort or take us on an adventure. The artworks in this show celebrate local food, explore food as a site of cultural exchange, and take on the emotional ties to the things we eat.

About The Artists
Susie Allen is a Lynn, Massachusetts-based artist and the creator of Suzón Studios. Her work is bold, colorful, and playful, pairing graphic linework and saturated color with a sense of whimsy. Working primarily in acrylic and paint marker, Allen draws inspiration from pop art, street art, popular culture, and the visual language of everyday life.
A largely self-taught artist, Allen transforms familiar people, places, and cultural imagery through a bright, graphic visual language. Her subjects range from expressive portraits and cheeky female figures to local landmarks as well as more personal explorations of identity, memory, resilience, and change. Whether playful, nostalgic, celebratory, or introspective, her work is driven by a desire to create something visually immediate and emotionally recognizable.
Through Suzón Studios, Allen creates work defined by strong outlines, vivid color, and an unmistakable sense of personality. At its heart, her practice is grounded in the belief that art can be accessible and exuberant while still having something meaningful to say.
Eddie Bruckner is a professional visual artist who creates original acrylic Pop-Art paintings, public art projects, teaches group classes, as well as personalized, in-home art lessons for adults and teens. Eddie uses vibrant colors, bold lines, and the illusion of mosaic tile as a visual language of happiness, love, and the beautification of physical space. His artwork is about having fun, bringing a smile to people’s faces, and at the same time, providing a unique way of experiencing some of our most familiar objects, places, or people. “I create an illusion of mosaic tile that provides cohesion to my body of work and serves to provide balance, repetition, movement, and other elements of strong artistic design and composition. I often think about the mosaic element as confetti, to further my goal of conveying fun, exhilaration, and happiness; the mosaic patterns add life and positive energy into my work. I want my audience to personally connect to my art and enjoy the experience.”
Eddie exhibits widely throughout New England as well as around the world. He serves on the Board of the Wellesley Society of Artists and is an artist-member of the Attleboro Arts Museum. He has exhibited his artwork all over the United States as well as internationally. His artwork has been selected for a number of prestigious juried art shows such as the Attleboro Arts Museum’s Annual Juried National Exhibition, Cambridge Art Association’s National Prize Show, and the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts Annual Juried Exhibition. Recent public art projects include commissions by the City of Boston’s Public Art Commission to paint electrical boxes near Fenway Park and along the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston, and along the Boston Marathon Route in Natick, MA; Several International Public Art Installations; Selected by Rockefeller Center in NYC for their Flag Project Public Art Installations in August 2020 and April 2023; A painted fiberglass guitar for the GuitARTS Public Art Project; and #JumpNatick, a hopscotch court located in Natick Town Common; and the “Play Me, I’m Yours” Street Piano Public Art Project for the Celebrity Series of Boston.

Through public artworks, she transforms neighborhoods and engages with the public. Her ultimate goal is to restore the concept of human connection through her work in an appealing, fun, and engaging way.

Barbara Douglass is a self-taught painter working primarily in oil and gouache. Her paintings explore the space between what is remembered and what is right in front of us—using familiar simple objects as a way into nostalgia, memory, and quiet observation.
Rooted in realism but influenced by pop art, mid-century design, and classic Americana, Barbara is drawn to subjects that might otherwise go unnoticed. She approaches them with meticulous attention to detail, but often introduces unexpected color, composition, or juxtaposition to shift their meaning. The result is work that feels both recognizable and slightly removed from reality, inviting the viewer to look again.
Nostalgia is central to her practice, but not as an attempt to recreate the past. Instead, she is interested in the way certain images, colors, and everyday details can unlock a feeling that is difficult to name—a memory that may not even belong entirely to us. She hopes her paintings tug at that imaginary thread between past and present, creating a moment of stillness and recognition.
Based in the Boston area, Barbara continues to explore the relationship between precision and emotion, finding new ways to transform ordinary subjects into images that feel familiar, timeless, and quietly unexpected.

I’m Winny Kwong-Sito, a Chinese-Colombian-American (yes, you read that right) illustrator based in Boston and I recently stepped away from tech to do something I’ve always loved - draw and tell stories. I grew up with my nose in a book, eyes watching cartoons, and my hands scribbling away mountains of doodles. As someone who grew up a little too fast, my art is one way I preserve my sense of childhood nostalgia, whimsicality and inner calm. I hope to share this experience with others through my work and tell many many stories.

The size of his work is just as diverse, with small pieces painted on wood surfaces to larger pieces painted on canvas. His work is heavily influenced by the graffiti, art battles and murals in his community with a splash of fine art, and political editorial social commentary.

Erica Meimei: Somewhere along the way, most of us were taught that being an adult means being serious. My work gently argues otherwise. My paintings are full of color and movement because that's what joy looks like. My work is about play as a form of connection, and about the small, easily-overlooked moments where authentic connection happens.
Originally from Pasadena, California, I studied visual journalism at USC, honing my skills in storytelling. I've also worked as an assistant art conservator, restoring historic paintings for museums and private collections—a job that taught me how much a single image can hold.
In 2023, I founded ART BLOCK, a free community art gathering that's grown to more than 250 members across three chapters in Greater Boston. It's the same belief in a different form: that making things together, with no pressure to be good at it, is one of the best ways to build real community.
Lori Moretti is a Boston-based artist whose paintings explore the complexities of human experience through psychologically charged imagery, unexpected juxtapositions, and an evolving dialogue between representation and abstraction.

Moretti is the founder of CM Communications, a leading Boston integrated marketing and public relations agency. For decades, her marketing career has drawn on the same creative instincts and visual storytelling that have always informed her painting. Moretti’s work has been selected for juried exhibitions throughout the United States, including Boston’s Bromfield Gallery, Sarasota Art Museum in Florida, the New Britain Museum of American Art in Connecticut, Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, The Artists Gallery in Los Angeles, Limner Gallery in Hudson, New York, the New Hampshire Art Association, and others.

She continues to push familiar subjects into less predictable territory, creating images that draw viewers in visually while leaving room for individual interpretation and emotional resonance.

Sierra loves to showcase how femininity and playfulness can be celebrated and appreciated for what they are, powerful.

Lancy Wang is a contemporary artist from China whose practice focuses primarily on oil and acrylic painting.

Her paintings reflect an ongoing search for connection, belonging, and the space to express an individual life with openness and vitality.
