I used to make Funyuns. That's right, I was an Extruder Operator at Frito-Lay, making sure those tasty onion flavored rings were made to perfection. (I understand this job is now done by a robot!) I did this for six months in order to earn money to go to art school. So, in a way, I have these gentlemen to thank for helping me along my artistic path. They are Mr. Lay and Mr. Kendall, co-founders of PepsiCo -- which sells the Frito-Lay brand. I was recently commissioned to paint their portraits as well as the portraits of the other CEOs who have led the company until the present day.

The portraits hang in the PepsiCo headquarters in New York.
