Park Hyatt Washington will host its Masters of Food & Wine, with delicious opportunities from June 2 through 5, to salute the flavors, culture, and talents of American winemakers and chefs, along with featured artist, Christopher Mize.

Mize, a new partner in this exciting weekend, is assembling a Masters of Food & Wine Collection of his original oil on canvas paintings to be on display throughout Park Hyatt Washington’s Lounge and Blue Duck Tavern, now through June 5.

Christopher Mize, a self-taught artist, primarily works in oils focusing on wine-related subjects found in his home state and residence of Virginia. Whether it is a wine still-life or a landscape of a vineyard, Mize's realistic approach and technique have a large appeal to wine fans and collectors alike. Mize’s featured works are for sale during the Masters of Food & Wine with prices ranging from $350 to $1,250. To view his collection, please visit www.christophermize.com.
