About the artist: Brent Holmes
“With this piece, I wanted to show the excitement of new growth. I also wanted to include a bit of a place — I used some Reno landmarks and highlighted my three favorite springtime veggies: beets, asparagus, and broccoli rabe. They each have such distinct flavors that remind me of culinary traditions I’ve experienced.”
