Last night's Contemporary Arts Center Auction & Gala was a wonderful flurry of hugs, laughter, great energy, wonderful spirits and food.
It was a celebration of our city, her people, her community, art, the museum, the Docents of the Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, the chefs, mixologists, writers, designers, supporters - really, everyone involved in making the book CUISINE ART COCKTAILS, CELEBRATING CONTEMPORARY CINCINNATI, a beautiful reality.
Thank you Ileana Saldivia for mentioning my name, in the first place.
Thank you, once again, Maria Kalomenidou, and The CAC, for inviting me into this 'project' (twice!) & for being a delightful creative partner.
Thank you, all you lovely, creative, amazing chefs and mixologists for putting your hearts and souls into creating all of your STUNNING platings and cocktails for me to photograph.
What a fabulous city we live in! xx
