Discovering the Delightfully Designed Dishes of @thecrazyplatelady

“If you can think of it, I can paint it!” says plate artist Jacqueline Poirier (@thecrazyplatelady), who, after winning a live painting competition, went from being a server to becoming a resident artist at the Ritz-Carlton in Toronto. “I initially started with four plates,” remembers Jacqueline, who wasn’t anticipating the huge success of her work. Now, some three years and 1,500 plates later, Jacqueline’s art is on permanent display in the hotel’s signature restaurant Toca. “Every place setting in the dining room has a different plate that I have hand-painted,” says Jacqueline. While she paints a wide variety of subject matter, from animals to people to places to things, Jacqueline has a soft spot for her food-related paintings, particularly the steak and doughnut plates. “I think they are my favorites because they seem to be the most realistic. They appeal to the masses (vegetarians included!) and act as great conversation pieces around the table.”
