Like a blank canvas, each new experience begins with a meeting of the minds to brainstorm and visualize possibilities: to customize an immersive concept for the event location, embracing client imagination to collectively formulate experiential event marketing strategy.

As paint color and brushstrokes, the variables that make Art of Taste events unique is connectedness to chefs, musicians and creatives and cross-pollinating talent to curate innovative and fresh experiences; an amalgamation of creativity to inspire a liquid muse beyond the canvas into experience and forever immerse flavor memory onto palates of guests. Art of Taste Events are a full collaboration of creative minds, cross-pollinating talent and enabling endless combinations, as important as color to the canvas; to create unforgettable sensory experiences: bringing flavor to life as an art.

In the artist’s words:
I am a Contemporary Artist from Napa Valley, California. I graduated with my BFA in Fine Art Painting from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2004. Words that describe me: visually obsessed, always inspired, risk taker, connector, foodie, wine lover, mountain girl, optimist, fur friend, loyal, passionate, motivated and dedicated. In Napa Valley, I became established as an abstract action painter where I paint LIVE during food and wine events, magazine parties as well as at large public events like Napa Valley Film Festival, BottleRock and Yountville LIVE, where I interpret the taste of wine onto canvas alongside sipping guests at the event. In my current body of work, the presentation format of my “Palette of the Palate” Fine Art Collection is a series of curated “Art of Taste” events: sensory exhibitions where I work alongside chefs, winemakers and musicians in collaboration to further express our perception of taste through the senses as dynamic and all encompassing experiences.
