Tasty Postcards began as a playful experiment between my husband Richard—a chef—and me, an artist, after we sold our restaurant and catering business of over 30 years. With our hands finally free from the daily grind, we wanted to discover a new way to create together. The first spark came when we were invited to an artist residency in France. What started as a small idea to blend our passions––his for food, mine for art, and our shared love of storytelling––quickly grew into Tasty Postcards, a collaborative adventure chronicling our travels through Richard’s words and my paintings.
Now, through our Substack publication, Tasty Postcards, (link) we’re inviting you to come along—taste the places we visit, see the world through color and flavor, and celebrate the art of living well.
