Artichoke Mandala

Artichoke Mandala, 2015

Cynara Scolymus

I created Artichoke Mandala years ago when I was working as an art-director for an advertising agency that I own with my husband. I was photographing artichokes for a magazine. I loved my job, but the pressure of getting the perfect photo for the magazine's recipe made it difficult to enjoy creative freedom. So when my work day had ended, I went to my studio and photographed the artichoke as if it were a lush oil painting with glorious reds, greens, and crispy edges of burnt umber. The end result did, indeed, resemble a painting. Artichoke Mandala remains my best selling photograph.
