Chris has been a chef for 25 years and has been in the food business 30 years.  We love to make people happy when they eat our food. We love Pearl Jam just as much so we put the two together. We started in February of 2016 and are still going with a growing following. We do all kinds of events, birthday parties, weddings, graduations, baby showers.  We can do just about anything!

Thistledown Studio

FEATURED AT THE DISCOVERY CENTER GIFT SHOP: First comes a splashy, colorful background. This sets the composition and color palette. “Natural history” and “fine art”, come together. Aspects become representational. My art is purchased by entomologists -- it must be scientifically accurate.
