Thrilled to share that my collaboration with Edible East Bay was selected as a finalist for the 2024–2025 Edible Magazine Cover Award! This image was created in my studio using locally milled California olive oil, walnuts, persimmons, and pomegranates. I’d just finished painting this backdrop and was inspired by the natural light pouring through my window—so I styled the scene, sent it off, and never imagined it would land on the cover, let alone receive recognition across the Edible Magazine community.

Grateful to Edible and to everyone who continues to support and celebrate our vibrant local food culture!

I am honored to be a recipient of Lurzer’s 200 Best Digital Artists award for 2024, Edition 7. My Mother Earth Out of Time digital painting was chosen from over 6,000 entries.

Judy Doherty Photography and Edible East Bay Magazine were named the Best Recipe Feature Award for Edible Magazine Community in 2023.
