Emily Gold is an artist and a baker. She met Maria in their belly dancing class and became friends. She works with collage and fabrics and has a stylish website.

On weekends, she sells her art and scones at the Bennington, Vermont Farmer’s Market and I saw these very wonderful and inexpensive collages inspired by various vegetables.

I loved this one – it’s Miner’s lettuce – and Maria bought it for me as an anniversary present. I just smile whenever I see it. Try it, I think it’s especially creative and imaginative.

Good artists see life and beauty everywhere.
