Carvings by Boonmee Nishimoto

Continuing on my commitment to portray the work of fantastic Fruit and Vegetable Carvings artists on my Blog, today I will be presenting to you the work and more information about my Friend and wonderful Fruit and Vegetable Carving Artist Boonmee Nishimoto.

Boonmee Nishimoto

Here she is seen with her Teacher Saowapa Albright (Sophie).

I take this opportunity to express my deepest regards and respect to her teacher Saowapa Albright (Sophie). who has been a teacher to so many wonderful Fruit and Vegetable Carving artists. You may be seeing her on so many of my Blog Posts of the wondrful artists that I am writing about on my Blog.

*****************************

More about Boonmee Nishimoto.

Boonmee Nishimoto is a native of Thailand. She is both an instructor and a designer of Thai fruit and vegetable carvings. Boonmee has been teaching beginning and intermediate classes at the Adult Extension Program at Los Angeles Harbor College in Southern California. She is also available for a one-on-one course, where you will have her undivided attention. The difference between the group course offered at the adult extension program and the one-on-one course is that you will learn to carve a project of your choice and you will not leave (unless you choose to do so), without completing your edible art. Boonmee has been practicing the ancient art of Thai fruit and vegetable carvings for many years. Just like a music virtuoso, Boonmee maintains her high level of craftsmanship by continuing to take classes and seek council from her mentor of many years.Besides teaching, Boonmee offers a unique “catering” service. With your needs in mind, Boonmee will design and carve fruits and vegetables Thai style for your event(s). Think of highlighting your table with ornately carved edible fruits and vegetables. They can be eaten during the meal event or they can be offered as parting gifts. What a unique treat to give to yourself and to your guests.

***********************************

Before I go on to display some of her fantastic work let me highlight some important Events and classes she is going to conduct.

She will be have a carving class at LA Harbor College starting on Feb. 27. There is a special event the "Cherry Tree Blossom Festival" at Columbia Park in Torrance, CA on March 4 from 11 AM - 3 PM. She will be doing a Thai Fruit and Vegetable Carving demonstration.

Vegetable Carving display by Mansi Kate

Vegetable Carving display by Mansi Kate

Continuing on our efforts to try our hand at Vegetable and Fruit carvings, the gift from Nitda Phongcharern along with the Carving set was a welcome boost to our tryst with Carving. Last time I had exhibited one of our first carving efforts with a simple Kitchen knife, which is seen below. Very simple, or rather amateurish carving but it was a first step into this wonderful art. My daughter Mansi was not only overjoyed at receiving the set but got ready to start her first carving display. Though she had done some wondrful small Tomato and Carrot carvings earlier with the simple kitchen knife, which unfortunately I could not photograph, she tried her had at some simple sliced carrot and cucumber carvings which she has displayed in a plate. The cored remnants of both the carrot and cucumber have also been used as simple garnishing to compliment the colors.

I know again this is a very amateurish carving but for a 13 year old to take up this art only after reading my blog and being motivated by the wonderful artists I portray on my blog is commendable. I am sure she will learn from experience, as she has been watching the "Traditional Thai Fruit and Vegetable Carving" video CD by Sumalee Murphy over and over again, and I am sure she will come out with some wonders. I too will be trying my hand at carving as soon as I get time off from my busy schedule, so here are the two photographs of the Carrot and Cucumber sliced carvings Mansi made today. Both are the same plate,one only with a dash of flowers to brighten up the display! Hope you all like it. Will be back with some really good carvings as we are planning for a bigger Carving session either tomorrow or on Sunday being a weekly holiday for her from school. So enjoy!

This
is the first carving we had made with our simple kitchen knife set which was already displayed in my previous post.
This was a simple Tomato, Cucumber Radish, and Spring Onion Carving display!

****************
What you see below are Simple Carrot and Cucumber Sliced Carvings Display by my Daughter Mansi.

The same plate has been photographed with a Floral display just to add color!

This was done only to highlight to her the effect simple floral or even additional display can have on the overall display of your Carvings. Every detail is important!
**********************
Friends, Proffesionals and experienced Vegetable Fruit Carvings please excuse our first efforts and I am sure we will come up with some mind boggling carvings in our next post! All this credit goes to the motivation you wonderful artists give us through your work! Thank you!
