Food For Thought 2024: A Night of Conversation and Connection with West Palm Beach Library Foundation

As an artist, I’m deeply passionate about access to public resources like libraries. They are the heartbeat of our communities, offering so much more than just books—they’re places for inspiration, connection, and lifelong learning. That’s why I’m especially honored to be participating in Food For Thought, an event hosted by the West Palm Beach Library Foundation on November 2, 2024, and benefitting the Mandel Public Library. 

This event follows a special format and will celebrate everything the Mandel Public Library stands for: knowledge, creativity, and the power of community. I’m excited to be one of the ‘Table Hosts’, where I will be presenting to my table on the topic, The Power of Portraits, alongside several other esteemed members of our community, including Palm Beach’s Rick Rose, Daphne Nikolopoulos, Rob Russell, and Steven Caras. I’m a big believer that art should spark conversation, and what better place to do that than at a gathering designed to ignite meaningful dialogue over a shared meal?

If you’re not familiar with Food For Thought, here’s the rundown: it’s a beautifully curated evening where attendees sit down to a three-course dinner while engaging in thoughtful conversation with various table hosts, including yours truly. My table’s dialogue will center around The Power of Portraits and include anecdotes about the creative process, my experiences in the art world, and how I’ve navigated my journey as an artist in Palm Beach. Whether you’re curious about portraits, fine art, or just want to chat about where creativity fits into daily life, I’m looking forward to connecting with you at the event.

This special event directly supports the Mandel Public Library and the West Palm Beach Library Foundation, helping them continue their incredible work in providing access to resources that empower and educate our community. This event is more than just a night out—it’s a chance to invest in the future of our community by supporting a space that fosters growth and opportunity for everyone.

So, if you’re in the area, grab a ticket and join us for a night of conversation and connection. I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones—let’s make it an unforgettable evening! Purchase your ticket at www.wpblf.org/food-for-thought.

Stay inspired,
