I think food is the great equalizer. Other than the ocean and the air, food is the thing that we all share in common. I think along with that comes the question of why are some people starving, and why do some people produce more food than they need, and why is food going to waste.

Pain is a part of life. It’s certainly part of my creative process.

Creative Pain Process
I think there’s a certain magic that comes from being creative.
BRETT DENNEN
