American food illustrator and stylist Anna Keville Joyce, who lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is an expert at producing art from everyday ingredients.From city landmarks to colorful animals, Joyce lets her imagination run wild as she creates a series of intricate art works made entirely from food.

Using anything from vegetables to sausages, she makes pieces so detailed that at first glance it is difficult to tell what they are made from. The 28-year-old can spend up to six hours decorating one plate, and her artworks usually spoil after only a few hours.
