$35.00
Only 1 available

Comfort food, I think of so many things when I hear comfort food that I might make this a series. How do we define comfort food? I say its any food that creates an increase in emotional/psychological well-being. For neurodivergent people, comfort foods can also be what's called "safe foods" which are foods that commonly meet sensory expectations repeatedly. Food is also a connection to family and culture. So to some, eating a meal can create a sense of home or alleviate some grief from separation from home/family. Absence of negative stimulation can also provide a sense of comfort. A food can be paired to a sort of eye in the storm for those who had adverse childhood experiences.

  • Size: 3.5 x 5 inches | approx. 9 x 13 cm

  • Medium: Gouache

  • Surface: Premium, heavy-weight cold pressed paper (features a beautiful subtle texture)

  • Signature: Hand-signed by KT on the back of the print itself

  • Framing: Unframed but is display ready with a backing board and archival sleeve. This standard size makes it incredibly easy to pop into a retail frame, or it can be displayed beautifully on a mini easel.
