Chatburn’s paintings invite us to join a meal. The scenes of unfancy meals feel familiar and comfortable suggesting eating together in daily life. “Boxing Day” was inspired by a family tradition of eating dim sum on Boxing day in Toronto. The scene comes to life with vibrant colors and intricate details, inviting the viewer to savor the memories of this delicious encounter.
