Chicago: For many years I was the art director for
Food Product Design and
Culinology, two business-to-business magazines that are concerned with bringing good tasting and healthful food to our tables. As a city folk, my husband and I frequent the
Green City Market and belong to a CSA. He shops. I sketch. So… needless to say, I was delighted when one of my sketches from these outings was chosen for farmer ID button for the
Good Food Festival in Chicago. Bob and I attended the Festival in March–he shopped, I sketched.
I really enjoyed hearing
Chef Rick Bayless talk about his involvement with local farmers to use fresh and local ingredients at his restaurants. We all win in that scenario–the farmer, the restaurant and the consumer!
I'm looking forward to further involvement as Urban Sketcher meets Urban Farmer!

This is fantastic, Barbara! I remember this sketch of radishes too - so proud of you! Sitting here trying to think who should I brag to about this...
