Where It All Began

 This is where it all began!
After electing to stay home with my son for five years, it felt like the right time to spark the pilot light.

On a hot day in late August 2014, these dear, trusted friends came to act as a test group, and to share this premier with me, for what now has become 'Art on a Carte,' a concept of blending my loves; 
friends, art, food and wine.
These ladies are so fun, they did an amazing job, and I wouldn't be here without them.

(You will see here that this first event was named 'Art Thyme,' which I adored since it was a nice marriage of art and food, however a few other people in Miami had already branded the name...
 I will reserve the naming journey for a later post!)

I am excited and honored to take this journey with these women and all of you!

Here is a short photo spread of our first event.
