Cups and More Cups with Joyce Savre at Cafe Zoe

I have just hung 13 paintings at Cafe Zoe in Menlo Park, a wonderful resting spot for coffees, tea, breakfast, lunch and always local art as well. There is a wonderful community feel here: a warm ambiance, children and parents in and out... So please come by, invite a friend and enjoy this oasis.

Address: 1929 Menalto Avenue, Menlo Park (from Willow Avenue, turn South on Gilbert till you come to Menalto)

Hours:
    Monday through Thursday 7am-5pm

All of my paintings here have cups in them: my father had a coffee shop up in Moorhead, Minnesota for 40 years - a very small place, but one of fraternity where the farmers and local professors would sometimes be waiting for him in 10 below weather to open at 6 AM.  The endless pot of Norwegian "egg coffee"  (where a whole egg is mixed with  ground coffee and  then added to boiling water and simmered for 20 minutes) was also a staple in my home.  So cups of coffee, memories around it and what the cup symbolizes have been very important  in my life.  Enjoy!
