On May 21, resident artist Betsy Cypert brilliantly captures the six stories of our “Devour” themed show.

Diana Slickman admits, “I’ve always had an appetite for love.”

Dani Bryant makes a “Todd saves people from a mudslide birthday cake” and other delicacies.

Mindy Segal tells us how “life is like a buffet of cookies.”

Martha Bayne remembers a dear customer, “Even without a coaster, you didn’t drink the dead man’s beer.”

Jim Sweeney is schooled by a mustached hipster waiter, “No sir. It is a better carrot. It is the essence of carrot.”

Art and Chelsea Jackson clean up after a neighborhood altercation and go back to “business as usual” answering customer questions such as, “What’s the difference between a pasty and a pasty?”

Big thank you to Betsy for bringing the stories to life with such imagination!
