The Story
The Story
Memorial Day weekend 2022. I was coming off a great festival held by Longmont's Firehouse Art Center. After making in excess of $100/hour I knew festivals were going to be my thing. I went to zapplication and started applying for shows. The first show to accept me was in Glenwood Springs and held 8 days after I applied. I rushed to the festival, renting the car, booking the hotel, and improving and increasing my inventory--for naught. Like many of the artisan vendors, I was in the red that weekend.
There was a silver lining however. I got to try food of Glenwood Springs, CO.
First was the Pullman Food & Drink. They had a great burger and this drink. The locals gave me a lot of flak to working at the bar. They thought drawing while drinking a cocktail had to be impossible, but after they saw the finished sketch their skepticism disappeared.
On the second day I went to Ming's Cafe. Sure enough both the locals and waitstaff confirmed that they had no idea that there was a festival happening. While there, I made plans to complete what is one of my favorite pieces the Moonstone Margarita.
I also would draw Brewpub's award winning Vapor Cave IPA. I'm am no IPA girl, but even this one won me over.

About the Artist
The only thing I enjoy more than eating Colorado food culture is drawing it.
I'm M. J. Star. I moved to Colorado in 2019 and have been drawing digitally for almost 2 decades. In early 2022, I started drawing art that depicts Colorado's rich food and drink culture. I've been traveling the state going to various breweries, wineries, cideries, bars, and restaurants. I try their food and drinks, and transform all of that into art that celebrates Colorado's blossoming local food culture.
My shop features all original art work draw on my mobile tablet.
