Visiting Artist: Melissa Rebholtz

Rebholtz: Gourmet expert and culinary craftsman.

Rebholtz visited via zoom, to share with my cohorts and I, her experiences as they relate to risk and challenges she has faced as a chef.  She discussed how she optimized and overcame in order to maximize returns when things got tough, or simply were not conducive to her success. Working in cafés and going to culinary school let to the startup of her own ranch to table business. Her insights shared how risk worked for her and perhaps even gave her an advantage.

The moral of the story is that similarly for us in our studios, we can examine, explore, and investigate...however, there will always be some form of risk or challenge that we will likely have to leap into.  Sometimes we will learn only what not to do, and other times we may even find that we are in a happy place, unexpectedly and would not have arrived there any other way.
