RIPE GALLERY
Some people return from their travels with photos of monuments and smiling relatives. My albums are filled with pictures of fruit. These images represent farmer’s markets in 12 towns in 5 countries. An onion is an onion in Stockholm, Seattle, or Sierra Leone.

The 20 pieces after Ripe begin with Polaroid transfer on canvas, and are redrawn with pastel and colored pencil. 10" X 12"
