Remembering ... Lee Hanley By Bill Dougherty
It’s hard to look at the above photo of Nancy and Lee Hanley and realize Lee is gone. For more than a year he fought a brave battle against cancer, a fight he lost late this summer. The social and business communities are still grieving. The loss of someone of Lee Hanley’s stature is hard to accept. Everything he touched turned to gold. The company he founded with several partners, Vestar, has managed to retain a stellar reputation in the business world. Together with his beautiful wife, Nancy, the civic and charitable worlds benefited handsomely from their kind contributions and support. Support that has spanned more than 30 years. Several years ago my wife and I had the opportunity to be guests at the Hanleys’ ocean-front vacation home in Del Mar. We had been invited to the splendid home of behalf of the Barrow Women’s Board. It was a magnificent evening filled with generosity and warmth. The Hanleys were exceptional hosts. I remember thinking how unpretentious they were for everything they had achieved together. The bond of love between Nancy and Lee was very apparent. Success as well as material possessions seemed an afterthought to their world. They were simply an amazing couple. When I heard last year that Lee was ill, I thought for sure he would beat it. After all he was a decorated U.S. Marine who had served his country. He was an amazingly successful businessman, a loving husband and father and one of the Valley’s finest philanthropists. I guess God just needed one of the finest gentlemen I’ve ever met up in heaven. Lee Hanley was one of the greatest men this community has ever had the pleasure of knowing. He leaves to the business and social community a legacy that will last for a long time to come. He will be missed more than I can ever express.

ARTIST PROFILE
Jun Kaneko By Bill Macomber
Some of you may be familiar with Jun Kaneko’s ceramic art without knowing it. This amazing ceramist has had public art installations in a lot of places, including Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. The work is hard to miss. Gigantic “eggs” decorated in a spare, clean color or design stand 3 or 4 feet high. He’s also a wonderful painter of large canvases, but he’s best known for these technically challenging and striking ceramic works. Jun was born in Nagoya, Japan in 1942. He studied painting with Satoshi Ogawa during his adolescence, working in his studio during the day and attending high school in the evening. He came to the United States in 1963 to continue those studies at Chouinard Institute of Art. An introduction to collector Fred Marer drew him to sculptural ceramics and he proceeded to study with Peter Voulkos, Paul Soldner, and Jerry Rothman in California. He has been based in Omaha, Neb., since 1986, having been lured there by a prominent citizen who offered Jun a great deal on a large industrial space. The kilns needed to fire his large-scale eggs are, of course, huge. Just getting the works in and out of the firing space is a challenge. Combined with Jun’s almost infallible sense of design, his signature look has made him perhaps the leading ceramic artist in the world at this point. His artwork has appeared in numerous international and national solo and group exhibitions annually, and is included in more than 70 museum collections. He has realized over 30 public art commissions in the United States and Japan. A show of his art will be at Bentley Gallery in Scottsdale the month of November. Bentley Gallery is located at 4161 N. Marshall Way, Scottsdale. 480.946.6060. www.bentleygallery.com.

La Dolce Vita By Bill Dougherty
On a hot summer evening just a few weeks ago, Mary Jane Rynd (CFO of the Virginia Piper Charitable Trust) and I gathered at Tarbell’s for a late birthday celebration for beautiful and ultrachic realtor Karen Ganz. While the three of us met for cocktails, I sat there amazed at how many people passed through the notable restaurant I knew. Manny Molina was seated at the bar but I couldn’t get his attention. Then Sandy and Mac Magruder walked by looking for Ina and Murray Manaster, who had arrived a few minutes prior. David Perry walked in with his fetching English wife, Joe. And that’s just to namedrop a few. For just a moment I asked myself why Tarbell’s is so successful. First of all there’s Mark Tarbell, who sadly just shaved off his Roman Polanski (circa Sharon Tate) sideburns. Then there’s the excellent food and great atmosphere, and last but not least it’s not a chain restaurant. Thank God! It’s much the same way at Eddie’s House Walt Danley and Karen Ganz in Scottsdale. First you have
Eddie Matney. Mix that with excellent food and great atmosphere and together you have perfection. And did I forget to mention just how damn generous both chefs have been to this community when other notables simply say no? You get the picture! Speaking of Mac Magruder and his lovely wife, Sandy, did you know that the couple’s exceptionally attractive daughter Shannon and hubby Joel Barthelemy just made headlines? Apparently, their company, GlobalMed, just made Inc. Magazine’s 500 Fastest Growing Companies list. I’m not the least surprised. Even in this dreadful economy the Barthelemys offer hope to the rest of us that there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, either. Congratulations! Elsewhere, over at AZ 88 just days later, I sat looking through the large glass windows as I had so many times back in the 1990s. The cocktail lounge, like Downside Risk (just recently reopened), had been a haven for Southwest Airlines crews and employees back before DUI laws and secondhand smoke were both arrested by the pleasure police. Anyway, arriving shortly thereafter that afternoon were SMoCA Continued on page 12

La Dolce Vita – Continued from page 11 development associates Lynn Donahue and Natalie Vandeventer. We gathered to meet with Suzanne Johnson, founder of Gnosis LTD., the nonprofit that seeks to preserve and showcase things significant to the worlds of architecture and art. You might remember that it was Suzanne’s husband, famed architect Michael P. Johnson, who worked his own magic on the defunct Chinese restaurant and transformed the place to AZ 88 in 1988. We gathered to discuss a possible partnership between SMoCA and Gnosis to create architectural tours. Shortly after I purchased Trends we embarked with Gnosis on a tour of Palm Springs architecture, years before it became all the rage. I’ll never forget the In Cocktail Polo News You Should Know: That a couple just silently gave life to a shelter for women and children that was in dire straits … That there’s a huge d-i-v-o-r-c-e on the horizon … That a couple who quickly inserted themselves into the social swim almost instantly are a total fraud … That one of the fairest maidens in the land just became engaged … That a socialite who lost most ofInher family Polo in theNews holocaust is herself a racist … That Cocktail you should know: a recently wed blonde is in grave danger and doesn’t even know it … That socialites who wear glasses seldom get passes … That a socialite who has all the answers is perhaps the most insecure lady in town … That a queen bee had one last chance to make it up to social royalty and instead stung again – how very sad … That an on-again off-again couple is off once again. Now you’re all caught up for the next 15 minutes.
moment we walked into the James Bond house from “Diamonds Are Forever,” a house designed by John Lautner for Palm Desert designer Arthur Elrod in 1968. The house became the focus of my article later that autumn. I hope someday that Jane and Suzanne and Michael Johnson Geoff Edmunds, two of the biggest James Bond fans I know, get to tour the amazing property. I can guarantee both of them they won’t be disappointed. Gnosis and Ms. Johnson would go on to gather another group for a tour of the internationally recognized artist colony of Marfa, Texas, long before it was ever showcased in Vanity Fair. We had to miss the tour due to social conflicts. So if indeed a partnership is formed between these two great entities, rest assured they will quickly become the envy of the arts throughout the Valley. Stay tuned. There’s always more.

Stevie and Karl Eller What is your hometown and how long have you lived in the Valley? Karl was born in Chicago and Stevie in Paxton, IL.

JEWELRY BY HEIDI This Phoenix jeweler gained an appreciation of the great silversmiths of the 20th century while she was still in high school. Her German immigrant parents passed on to her a fondness for American mid-century modern design. These two forces combined when she left the world fine art, interior design and visual merchandising to start working in silver jewelry in 2003. Her selftaught design aesthetic is simple: “modern architecture for the body.” Heidi’s jewelry is striking, dramatic and clean. And it has caught eyes. She’ll be in an exhibit at the Mobilia Gallery in Cambridge, Mass., starting in November, and has been asked to do a show in October in Palm Springs gallery/shop called Flow Modern Design. Oh, and let’s not forget Jackson Galaxy of the TV show “My Cat from Hell.” He’s been wearing a ring by Heidi made for him this season (shown here). To see Heidi’s jewelry and learn more, visit her Web site at www.heidiabrahamson.com.
COUCH CALLS How about a psychiatric house call? Dr. Michael Yasinski has established what can be called a concierge service for the high-profile or just plain pampered mental health consumer. It’s called Royal Pains, which gets an A+ for creativity in naming a medical practice. Yasinski claims to be the only Valley psychiatrist making house calls. He’ll visit your residence and offer talk therapy, psychodynamic therapy, medication management and home detox. Those last two items are nothing to joke about given what health officials have called an epidemic of prescription drug abuse in America. We don’t mean to make light of the whole subject. This could really come in handy for people who have a hard time admitting they’ve gotten more than they bargained for while taking prescribed pain medication. The doctor says he never liked the idea of a traditional, rigid doctor’s office. He wanted to provide his patients with the most relaxing and welcoming environment possible – their homes. Not too many people are old enough to remember doctors who make home visits. If you’re curious about what it’s like, here’s your chance. Agoraphobes, are you listening? Dr. Yasinski can be reached at 480.253.0527 or www.yasinskipsychiatry.com.
I’LL HAVE A TAN WITH THAT We’ve heard nothing but good things about Boutique Solie. It’s a mix of really cool women’s fashions, specialty gifts, shoes and accessories, including Hot Chick aprons, shown here, made by local artisan Alicia Doell. These aprons will evoke good memories (think poodle skirts, bellbottoms, Hypercolor shirts and Keds). If you bake, you definitely want to look like this while you’re doing it. Most labels are ecofriendly. The boutique is unique because it also offers airbrush tanning on-site. It’s the safest way to tan with no UV rays or sunburn. Just like with lipstick, you just pick and shade and it’s done. Boutique Solie is a fun mix, definitely worth the drive. Boutique Solie is located at the northeast corner of Seventh Avenue and McDowell Road in the historic Antique Market. Call 602.258.1061 or visit www.boutiquesolie.com.

NOVO SOLUTIONS MD
TOO OLD … NEED LOVE … PLEASE HELP
This Scottsdale-based company offers skin care products with something a little different – a patent-pending, proprietary cell-free treatment called NovoSerum derived from purified human umbilical cord serum. The serum comes from an FDA-certified cryobank, in case you’re wondering. Its makers say it does a number of things, including relaxing the face with neuro-peptides for a non-invasive Botox effect. NovoSerum also helps repair and regenerate damaged skin, of which there is plenty in Arizona, by prompting the skin’s factory cells (fibroblasts) “to increase natural collagen production and enhance skin matrix production.” Not too sure what a skin matrix is, but it sounds impressive, and the products have undergone double-blind studies at Northwestern University with good results. There are six products in the Novo Solutions line for men and women. They include a cleanser, exfoliant, cellative serum, eye serum and moisturizer.
A Senior Dog’s Prayer One by one, they pass my cage, Too old, too worn, too broken, no way. Way past his time, he can’t run and play. They shake their heads slowly and go on their way … Mingus Manor takes in old and often sick animals that have been deemed unadoptable and sometimes beyond help. Mingus Manor’s mission is to help senior pet owners who can’t take care of their animals anymore because of sickness or a changing living situation. These animals have been loved all their lives but now have no place to go. Karen Scherer, the driving force behind Mingus Manor, is dedicated to letting the animals have a place to roam free and finish their lives in dignity. Ideally, the animals get to pick their own “roommates” and sleep where they want. During days, they get to roam where they like. Despite the intense care many of these animals need because of medical problems, Scherer hopes to expand the facility and take in even more animals. Anyone can help Mingus Manor. You can do it by adopting or just fostering an animal by donating money or supplies (for a “wish list,” see Mingus Manor’s Web site below). An old friend will thank you.

Interior Design and Your Health By Ernesto Garcia, ASID Have you ever thought how the spaces in which you spend your life, primarily home and work, affect your mood and your general wellbeing? Everything that surrounds us affects us in some way: the rugs we walk on, the chairs we sit on, the art on our walls, the draperies that darken our rooms, etc. Whether it is visually or physically, every object we come in contact with influences our disposition, our health and our everyday experience of life. Science has finally corroborated what we might have intuitively known for ages. At USC, Dr. Irving Biederman set out to learn how visual stimuli affect brain and temper. Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, which reveals brain activity three-dimensionally, he showed the subjects of his research a variety of images. Some of these images depicted beautiful spaces and landscapes as well as desolate looking junkyards, ruined homes and cars. During experiments researchers examined variations in neural activity. When subjects looked at pleasant images a high density of opiate receptors was observed. These are the neurotransmitters that are popularly referred to as endorphins and are associated in general with pain relief, pleasurable experiences and a sense of well-being. By extension, it seems reasonable to suggest that living within pleasing spaces translates into feelings of happiness and can improve health. I strongly believe that if you take care of your home and work environments, they will take care of you in more ways than you can imagine. Making a change and decorating the spaces that surround your daily life is a courageous act; it is a refusal to live in rooms where things don’t harmonize or support the goals of your life. By so doing, you are making a commit-
ment to reinvent them with a new vision. A pleasant change in your surroundings will prompt other positive changes in your life. Ernesto Garcia is an award-winning interior designer in Phoenix. He is a member of the American Society of Interior Designers and has an architecture degree. Visit his Web site at www. ernestogarciadesign.com, call 602.317.3205 or e-mail him at ernesto@ernestogarciadesign.com.

The pARTy at the Phoenix Art Museum theme of the pARTy varies each year but the underlying goal is to celebrate the museum’s achievements and its contribution to keeping arts and culture alive in Arizona.
The seventh annual pARTy, a black-tie dinner dance benefitting the Phoenix Art Museum, will be Nov. 3 at the museum. It’s being chaired this year by Diana Ellis Smith. The pARTy has become a well-attended event that plays a vital role in providing support for Arizona’s premiere museum. Why was the pARTy established? The pARTy began in 2006 as a celebration to mark the grand opening of the newly expanded Phoenix Art Museum. The
who are the foundation and the future of our communities. What else can attendees expect? Guests will enjoy a first-class event where every detail is meticulously planned. From world-renowned “get on the floor and dance” band ensembles to contemporary cuisine that will engage culinary senses, the pARTY is truly an experience that should not be missed.
Tell us about the accomplishments of this charitable event. Over the past six years, the pARTy has raised more than $9,000,000 in support of the museum’s educational programs and exhibitions. Each year, the museum features new acquisitions and aspects of the collection that grace this wonderful space. Through the generosity and support of our members, the pARTy continues as the standout event honoring the accomplishments of this jewel of the desert. The event is an unmatched opportunity to connect with prominent civic leaders and corporate executives
Since 1959, the Phoenix Art Museum has served as the cornerstone of Phoenix’s art and cultural community, providing the people of Arizona with great art from around the world and amazing cultural experiences.

Old Bags Luncheon The annual Old Bags Luncheon is Arizona’s original handbag event. On Oct. 29 the ballroom at the Arizona Biltmore will be filled with hundreds of handbags. Guests will vie for handbags in a silent auction or raffle as they sip champagne and get ready for a lunch under the white tents on the Squaw Peak Terrace. Neiman Marcus will stage the runway show. This year’s event will benefit a great cause, Homeward Bound, and is being chaired by Donna Johnson and Jill Krigsten.
by PUIFORCAT
How many handbags are usually in the silent auction? Our goal is to feature about 500 handbags at this event. We really do collect quite the variety – celebrity-owned, designer, vintage, funky and fun. Successful bidders will pay anywhere between $25 and $5,000 for that bag they have to have. Tell us a little bit about Homeward Bound and what the organization does. Homeward Bound is a non-profit organization that provides transitional housing and social services to families with children fleeing domestic violence and/ or homelessness. We take these fragile families and nurture them as they take the first steps toward a life of self-reliance. There is such joy seeing a once-frightened family laughing on the playground. The combination of case management, classes, love and support from staff, volunteers and donors makes a huge impact on the families that come through our doors. We hear that this is a year of firsts for the Old Bags Luncheon. Every year, this event is sold out. This year, we have decided to make more tables available to the ladies who have wanted to attend for the past eight years. Another fun thing we’ll be doing differently this year is including prizes in our handbags! We are also excited to share more of the heartwarming stories of our brave moms and celebrating their accomplishments.

Brophy Fashion Show
The 2012 Brophy Fashion Show theme is Brophy in Our Hearts and Minds and will set up the catwalk Nov. 6 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort. As usual, the show will feature great fashions from Saks Fifth Avenue. The show benefits Brophy’s Financial Aid Fund and helps deserving students get a great education at the wonderful school. Polly Levine and Patti Oleson are heading up the effort this year. What makes the Brophy Fashion Show different from other events? The Brophy Fashion Show is unique mostly because all the money goes directly to the Brophy Financial Aid Fund. We believe Brophy’s
financial aid budget is the biggest in the state: In 2012-2013 it’s $2.75 million. We have yet to find another school with more financial aid available that is distributed to students who qualify solely by need. Brophy College Prep is totally selfsupporting so it depends on donations from corporations and individuals. All Jesuit schools across the world raise money in various ways as their primary mission is to always be able to serve the underserved. How many Brophy students receive financial aid? Historically, about 20 percent of the student population receives some form of financial aid. As mentioned earlier, students at Brophy come from as far away as Verrado, New River, Ahwatukee and Fountain Hills. The enrollment is 1,240 boys.
and since Brophy students come from at least 154 different grade schools, their exposure is Valley-wide. Tell us about the Brophy mission, teaching its students to be “Men for Others.” That phrase was coined by the leader of the Jesuits and expresses the mission of the Jesuits in all their ministries across the world. Jesuit schools teach that students and their unique talents should be developed with a direct mandate to serve the underserved. How can we support the Brophy Fashion Show? Supporting the underserved takes three things: desire, effort and money. Millions of dollars have been raised since the beginning of the show, dollars that have changed the lives of not only Brophy students but their families’ lives and legacies. To help, please contact Colleen Edwards at cedwards@carefreervresorts.com or 602.790.8278

A catalogue of musical joy I have heard nothing but raves for the Musical Instrument Museum in North Phoenix. A writer friend of mine told me she and her husband spent a good part of the day there and will have to go back two or three more times to take it all in. She raved especially about being able to plug into video and audio to listen to every kind of music imaginable as she viewed the instruments. The MIM opened in 2010 in a 200,000-squarefoot building on 20 acres. There are 15,000 instruments and artifacts. The instruments come from every time period in human history and each corner of the world. Funding and
founding came from Robert Ulrich, chairman emeritus and former CEO of Target. He had the idea that visitors should get more than a static look at world instruments. Museum visitors can watch instruments being played on video as they listen to them. The MIM has put out a catalogue giving an overview of this impressive museum. At 214 pages, it can’t show every instrument, but it gives a great overview of the kind of experience waiting inside. The bulk of the book is arranged like the museum – geographically. The sections include Africa, the Middle East/ North Africa, Asia, Oceana, Latin America, Europe and the United States/Canada. Little nuggets in the book include closeups of some of the most beautiful musical instruments ever made. Many of them are works of art in themselves. The range of the museum is in the book, too: Witness the piano John Lennon used to compose the song “Imagine.”

The CopaBall
The 2012 CopaBall will be held Oct. 20 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort to benefit the Maricopa Health Foundation. Co-chairs David Kempson and Dr. Salil Pradhan tell Trends about this annual event. Along with their wives and fellow co-chairs, Lisa Kempson and Dr. Susan Morton-Pradhan, they welcome you to the CopaBall. What are the Maricopa Health Foundation and CopaBall all about? The Maricopa Health Foundation is a philanthropic organization devoted to supporting Maricopa Integrated Health System. Through the CopaBall, the nonprofit raises funds to enhance the health care system’s patient welfare, health
education and support programs. This year, CopaBall is looking back 60 years to celebrate MIHS’s Graduate Medical Education program. MIHS is the Valley’s first and largest teaching hospital, with over 400 doctors actively participating. Nearly 60 percent of the program’s graduates remain in the Valley to practice. “We are one of the nation’s top burn units, a superior place for young patients and so much more,” said Dave Kempson of MIHS. Where can you see the foundation’s work in action? Dr. Pradhan: Every day, the efforts of the foundation touch the lives of our patients. As a pediatrician I use some of the distraction devices such as the Vecta (a fun, interactive light machine) that we have because of funds raised at the 2011 CopaBall. The foundation has helped us make the Arizona Children’s Center at Maricopa Medical Center into a comfortable place for young patients and their families.”
Who will you meet at the CopaBall? Everyone from hospital administrators to grateful patients join together for this special evening. Over 700 attendees will be mixing and mingling at this ball. What should attendees expect? Attendees should bring their dancing shoes and charitable spirit. A silent auction begins a fun evening that will conclude with entertainment on the dance floor. The Maricopa Health Foundation is also excited to present Judy Falkner, CEO of Epic, with the Chairman’s Award. We will also present the 2012 Joey Ridenour Nursing Excellence Award and J. Kipp Charlton Physician of Excellence Award. Sponsorships, silent auction items and donations are central to the foundation’s ability to support the health system through the CopaBall.

‘Constructions’ ‘Buildings in Arizona by Alfred Newman Beadle’ Modernist architect Al Beadle (1927-98) created a new vocabulary for building on challenging sites in the harsh, arid landscape of the Sonoran Desert. He left a 40-year legacy in the Valley. Much of his built environment is undocumented and few resources referencing his work are available. “Constructions,” a 119-page book full of photographs and drawings by Beadle, changes that. The work includes many drawings and some dramatic black-and-white photos of Beadle’s residential and commercial projects in the Valley, including the dramatic Mountain Bell Building in downtown Phoenix.
Most of Beadle’s professional work was executed in the Sonoran Desert, and his achievements consist of high-rise buildings, apartment complexes, single family homes and commercial office structures. His “inhabitable sculptures” stand alone in the region in which he chose to live and practice architecture. He was motivated by livable solutions which were more aesthetic and more beautiful, believing that something better was available and accessible. Beadle believed that good design can affect people’s lives. His buildings were never planted, but floated delicately in their natural settings, whether in the desert landscape or surrounded by the non-architecture of massproduced constructions he denounced as “Taco Bells” and “Mud Huts.” Adapting his Modernist principles to the context of southern central Arizona, Al Beadle brought architecture’s glass box to the challenging sites and unforgiving climate
of the desert. With the elegant, geometric symmetry of Modernist ethics and integrity, he created a new vocabulary for building on the harsh, arid landscape. He did it well, as this volume documents. His work is part of the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. “Constructions” is the second edition of the book published by Gnosis Ltd. To order, visit www.gnosisltd.org.

Rendez-Zoo Rendez-Zoo, An Evening of Conservation and Cuisine, will be held Oct. 13. RendezZoo will celebrate the Phoenix Zoo’s 50 years of conservation, education and fun by combining cuisine and conservation at the Phoenix Zoo. Rendez-Zoo will be chaired by Jean Bingham with Vice-Chair Adrienne Schiffner. Tells us about this year’s Rendez-Zoo (Jean Bingham) Rendez-Zoo will begin with a culinary tribute to the zoo’s mission of conservation as we enjoy amuse bouche sponsored by some of the Valley’s leading restaurants with an emphasis on sustainable and local foods. While tasting fine Arizona wines and cocktails, guests will have the opportunity to peruse our exciting silent auction. An elegant lakeside dinner will follow prepared by our celebrity chef, Eddie Matney, with live music and dancing under the stars. This year’s Rendez-Zoo will showcase the history of the Phoenix Zoo through a collaboration between ASU’s Visual Communication Design students and architectural students at the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Why are you chairing Rendez-Zoo? (both) Jean: As a longtime Phoenix Zoo member as well as a member of the board of trustees, I have always had a passion for bringing
attention to the wonderful educational and conservation efforts of the Phoenix Zoo. Adrienne: I love the Phoenix Zoo. I believe in the work that takes place here. You can go to the zoo at any time of day, any day of the week and see school bus loads of children having fun while also learning about the animals and the natural environment. Why is Rendez-Zoo unique? (Adrienne) The breathtaking setting of the Phoenix Zoo, nestled at the base of the beautiful Papago Park Buttes, provides a unique and perfect backdrop for this one-of-a-kind gala. How does the money that is raised benefit the Zoo? (Jean) Money that is raised at Rendez-Zoo will go toward continuing the mission of the zoo: To provide experiences that inspire people and motivate them to care for the natural world. The zoo will use the proceeds from Rendez-Zoo to continue educational programming, world-class conservation efforts and will help provide the best care possible for the more than 1,100 animals who call the Phoenix Zoo home. How can people get involved? (Jean) By coming to Rendez-Zoo and helping to launch the zoo into its next 50 years! Reservations to attend Rendez-Zoo can be made at www.phoenixzoo.org/rendezzoo or by calling 602.286.3855.

ART
Spotlight on the Phoenix Art Museum The Phoenix Art Museum opened a show in August called “The Politics of Place: Latin American Photography, Past and Present.” Throughout the 20th and into the 21st century, artists working in Latin America have embraced photography as a means to capture their surroundings, document social injustice and political upheaval, and create images that define them as a people and a nation. “What is most fascinating about these images,” says Vanessa Davidson, Lampe
Associate Curator of Latin American Art at the museum, “is all of the stories and histories that come alive in an image that is sometimes strangely simple, whether it is a store front, a lone figure, or a row of Mexican peasants pretending to be rebels for a photographer. These images capture a profound sense of place and document political themes, sometimes with great humor and irony. They make for wonderful, meaningful art.” “The Politics of Place” is the first exhibition of Latin American photography at

the Phoenix Art Museum. It celebrates a long-standing tradition of photography in the region, beginning first with Frenchborn Brazilian Hércules Florence, who began taking photographs in 1833, and moving forward. It will also include works by American and European artists working in Latin America that provide an outside perspective. The exhibition will be on view through Dec. 2.

Veterans Medical Leadership Council The 10th annual Heroes One and All patriotic luncheon is on Nov. 9 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort. The celebration honors our veterans and military services members who have defended, and continue to defend, the liberty and freedom we enjoy. We are honored to have keynote speaker Lt. Commander Heidi Kraft, U.S. Navy (Ret.), flight and clinical psychologist and author of “Rule Number Two”; and Honorary Chairman Captain Paul Morell, U.S. Navy (Ret.) and Vice President of Safety and Regulatory Compliance at US Airways. Sam Young and Rita Brock-Perini are the VMLC’s president and vice president, respectively.

Who plans and presents the luncheon? The hard-working Luncheon Planning Committee has received a “shot in the arm” from the energetic VMLC Ambassadors (Susie Wesley, Josie Herrera, Jane Christensen, Patsy Lugo and Sue Glawe), who have volunteered to help get the word out about this patriotic event. How does it help veterans? The VMLC is dedicated to honoring and supporting military veterans. Inspired by the Phoenix VA Medical Center in 1999, it is composed primarily of veteran volunteers who strive to ensure veterans are honored. It provides a platform to have a forum for veteran-specific issues and support during difficult times. The luncheon raises funds to provide items that are not funded by the federal or state government. Through the VMLC Returning Warrior program, started in 2005, the council works closely with VA social workers to assist veterans in this tough economic environment. For example, on the 4th of July a veteran’s home burned down. Within hours of being advised, rent money was provided to get his family (wife and two children) into an apartment. VMLC is dedicated providing basic needs to returning troops and ensuring that they are treated with reverence and dignity as they are welcomed home.

The color green
Considered synonymous with nature, green is often used to signify fertility, growth, and even approval. It is said to have been the favorite color of historical figures such as George Washington and the prophet Mohammed. While it is not the most popular color inside the home, a recent House Beautiful survey found that green was the readers’ favorite choice of color for a dining room. And renowned designer Charlotte Moss has been known to favor green in the dining room as “fresh and appetizing.” Most people do not think of green as a versatile, neutral color shade. But in a sense it is. Falling dead center within the color spectrum, green incorporates qualities of every color. Green “embraces all the realms of light that people need for nourishment. It evokes both warmth and coolness,” explains master colorist Donald Kaufman. It can also make a splash in an environment characterized by clear blue skies and desolate desert sands. Interested in adding some green to your collection before the holidays heat up? Now is the time to place your order. Check our blog through the month of September as we showcase some of the more colorful items and collections that we have available for order. The Linen Tree is located at 6137 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 111, Scottsdale. 480.483.2044. www.thelinentree.com.
