Claire M Tallarico is a visual artist and cook. Her work explores the fertile common ground between communities and the sharing of art, food and dialogue. She considers new ways to document the intersection between creative practices, communities and food. A seasoned communications advisor to non-profits, primarily in the health sector, she has come to understand how these seemingly disparate aspects of her life and work come together as a force for good. https://clairemtallarico.com/
