Birchrun Blue, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

This is a beautiful blue cheese that is made locally, in the Philadelphia area, by a wonderful cheesemaker, Sue Miller at Birchrun hills Farms. Sue Miller would be embarrassed to hear me say this but she's a warm-hearted "mother hen" of the local cheese world, in my opinion.

Her smile is infectious and people seem to recognize her genuine kindness and love her instantly. She not only makes wonderful cheese, but she's been a positive force behind the entire region's cheese making community, promoting everyone and improving the Philadelphia cheese offerings.

This Cheese portrait was part of my contribution to support her efforts to grow and improve what's offered in the Philadelphia area. I've donated this original oil painting to the (now very successful) Kickstarter that will enable her to build a proper cheese cave and grow as a cheese-making artist!
