Oreos are great for so many things -- dunking in milk, recreating in weird flavors, just plain eating.

But it turns out Oreos also make a great canvas.。

Tisha Cherry is a full-time occupational therapist. But one look at her Instagram and its clear she is also using food to make art in a way that no one else is, especially when it comes to the simple Oreo. 。

"Three years ago I twisted open an Oreo and thought the cream looked like a Nike Dunk. I immediately became obsessed with trying to see how many different things I could create out of them," Tisha told。 Mashable. "
。Now I feel like I'm looking at the world through some sort of Oreo crème lens and it's become my favorite medium to express my creativity through."  。

Seeing the world through an Oreo crème lens sounds pretty amazing, especially if it leads to creations like this one. 。

Tisha's recent Oreo project is not her first foray into the world of food as art. She already has over 34K followers on Instagram due to her past creations, which include anything from cute animals to portraits of famous musical artists 。"My fav family on my fav 1 3/4 inch canvas oreo!"My fav family on my fav 1 3/4 inch canvas oreo! ✨🛋📺🎨 #ArtintheEats #theSimpsons"Credit: tisha cherry/instagram。

She would watch the staff take separate ingredients, then transform them into something completely different through the act of cooking. 。Mashable Top StoriesStay connected with the hottest stories of the day and the latest entertainment news.Sign up for Mashable's Top Stories newsletter 。

"I always viewed cooking and meal preparation as an art form," she said. "It only seemed natural for me to create art with food." 。

As unbelievable as it seems, Tisha tries her best not to use additional food coloring for her Oreo art. 。

"I collect the limited edition Oreos throughout the years so I have a collection of flavors/colors," Tisha described. "My 'tool kit' consists of a toothpick, a variety of knives and often times my fingers and hands!" 。"。

Completing an Oreo takes anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, and Tisha did touch on the fact that it's tough to balance her work on her art with her full-time job as an occupational therapist. However, her passion for this is just too strong to be denied. She is not above dropping everything to make an unplanned grocery store supply run.。

"Bespoke art projects that spark my interest or immediately inspire always push ahead!

Tisha hopes that her Oreo project will encourage others to have a little more appreciation for the mundane things in life, like food and Oreos, because they can be wonderful if given more consideration.。

"I recently was tagged in a post where an art teacher had her fifth graders look at my Oreo art and make their own creations. That just made my heart explode," Tisha shared. "That's a prime example of what I hope people think of when they see my art."。

So, what happens to her Oreo art after they are completed and photographed? Does she...well, eat them?

"I often consume the mess-ups but I do have five trays of my Oreo art in my refrigerator," Tisha said. "I have framed and gifted some as well!"。To see more of her creations and follow her future projects, visit Tisha Cherry's Instagram.
