The Salted and Styled family of women… By day we walk the earth as photographers, stylists, writers and artists. By night we are dreamers and eaters. Sunlight or moonlight, we are always creating. It is in the colors, textures and tastes of food that we often find our inspiration. This week this family of women is inspired by salt. Today, through her lens, photographer Chia Chong shares the thoughtful beauty and hint of whimsy in her photographs from the salt flats of Thailand. Libbie Summers shares two recipes this week. On Tuesday, the stunning beauty of a Smoked Salt-Crusted Beet. And on Thursday, a recipe made with a salty grin –Proscuitto Pretzel Knots. On Wednesday, a simple Southern conversation on the manners of salt sharing inspires the artwork of Katherine Sandoz. And on Friday, Amy Zurcher shares the beauty of a salt inspired piece of energy filled artwork. Join us each day this week as salt seasons our lives…both day and night.

Bright Lights, Sexy Flowers
One summer, long ago, I walked through the streets of Seoul, Korea. I remember the vivid colors, the bright lights, the culture, and of course, the orchids. There is something about an orchid. The way it makes me feel delicate and ladylike and romanced. As I created this simple, yet sexy arrangement, I imagine a courtship, a flirtation, the beginning of a wonderful affair.

My Darling Clementine
Mandarin Orange and Clementine season is upon me and when asked what art inspired me, I naturally chose this mixed media piece by SCAD alumna Beth Loraine Bowman. So reminiscent of my darling clementines (yum!) with its deep texture, full-bodied orange hues, and glossy finish…I can almost smell (and taste) the sweetness now!
