While art may be subjective, the universal appeal of delicious food is undeniable—whether it’s fast, slow-cooked, or beautifully captured on canvas. Imagine paying thousands of dollars for a painting of a Smucker’s Uncrustable, only to later see it sold on eBay for $5,000. This is the world Noah Verrier has tapped into, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary through his classically inspired oil paintings. Known for turning everyday junk foods into works of fine art, Verrier’s portfolio features everything from a Panda Express to-go box overflowing with noodles, Taco Bell’s iconic Baja Blast, and jelly donuts, to Modelo beer, a Popeyes two-piece with a biscuit, and a Wendy’s meal complete with fries dipped in a Frosty.
Noah Verrier has been painting since childhood, bringing a meditative approach to his craft. His everyday subject matter and simple, yet inviting, compositions immediately resonate with viewers, offering a sense of connection and nostalgia. His brushstrokes capture the interplay of light on familiar objects, striking a balance between precise realism and a slightly looser, painterly aesthetic.
Formerly an art professor, Verrier now works full-time as a professional artist. He holds both a BFA and an MFA, the highest academic credentials for a practicing artist, specializing in painting and drawing. His work has been exhibited globally, and he continues to create from his home studio in Tallahassee, Florida, where he lives with his wife and four children.
