Out of This World Virtual reality highlights new Columbus Arts Festival offerings

By Garth Bishop

Columbus Arts Festival June 7-9 • Scioto Mile www.columbusartsfestival.org •••••

cityscenecolumbus.com | June 2019

tival is getting a reality check.

A virtual reality check, that is.

One of the biggest additions to the 2019 festival – slated for June 7-9 – is the Virtual Reality Tent, which will feature virtual reality, augmented reality and video game offerings from organizations both national

and local. All of these contributions will have some connection to the art world – and serve, in total, as evidence that design of these experiences is itself art.

On top of that, the festival has an entirely new footprint this year, with a number of sections rearranged for a more seamless experience. Other major highlights include a headlining musical performance by R&B artist Anderson East, as well as a series of performances to kick off Columbus Pride and commemorate the 50year anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

Augmented Aesthetics

Situated on COSI’s English Plaza, the VR Tent allows festival organizer, the Greater Columbus Arts Council, to partner with local gaming expo GDEX, the Columbus College of Art & Design, Sony, and a handful of local game and virtual reality experience design companies.

Tent visitors will be able to play locally created games, some still in development, and explore virtual environments from other parts of the world to the interiors of paintings and other works of art. They will also be able to talk directly with developers and learn more about the creative and technical aspects of design.

The impetus for the addition of the tent: the continued growth of the game and VR industry in Columbus, and the increased recognition of game design as an art form.

“There’s a growing recognition in the arts community of the application of (game design),” says Jami Goldstein, vice president of marketing, communication and events at GCAC. Visitors will be able to explore three environments created with the VR Google Tilt Brush, all designed by artist Bryan Christopher Moss: • The White Castle Community Art Project, featuring a castle wall on which the player can add his or her mark.

• Mount Vernon Avenue, as painted by Columbus art legend Aminah Robinson.

• A space inspired by the OASIS from 2018 film Ready Player One (a significant portion of which is set in a futuristic Columbus).

They’ll also be able to explore an augmented-reality sculpture that raises awareness of animals that have

gamers and one more geared toward first-timers.

The tent will also include games created by local design companies Bowlcut Studios, Feenk Labs and Wraith Games, as well as by members of the Central Ohio GameDev Group. Most of the COGG games are still under development, so tent patrons will be able to talk to their designers and learn in-depth what the process looks like.

Of the completed games, Starcher gives the example of MageQuit, Bowlcut Studios’ contribution. The 10-player, everyman-for-himself fighting game is a battle royale among wizards, with individual wizards’ success being measured in the length of their beards.

Extra Life Columbus, a gaming group that raises money for Nationwide Children’s Hospital, will also have a presence, offering popular games as well as information on its work.

A New Layout lost their protected status, courtesy of students and an associate animation professor at CCAD. “(We’re) getting people to start looking at art in more interesting ways, with virtual reality and augmented reality and video games,” says Cody Starcher, producer and GDEX lead for local gaming and creative technologies studio Multivarious. “We’re (emphasizing) the appreciation of video games and creative technology as an art platform.”

Multivarious organizes GDEX, which will be back for its seventh year in October, and is also playing a key role in the organization of the VR Tent.

GDEX is dedicated to showcasing the work of game developers from across the country, giving attendees the chance to deepen their understanding of the gaming world – whether they are dedicated gamers themselves, curious newcomers or even parents of interested children. Being part of the Arts Festival is yet another way to reach those audiences, Starcher says, and connect with them in similar ways.

“We always try to do cool events with different people all around the city to showcase GDEX,” says Starcher.

Looking to connect with the new National Veterans Memorial Museum, cut down on dead ends and incorporate elements of the Franklinton Arts District, festival organizers undertook a significant reworking of the event’s footprint.

The new layout, which GCAC calls “more circular,” is engineered to make it easier for visitors to see everything – exhibitor booths, performing arts, food and more – without having to double back as much. It also means more room for spaces to eat, drink and rest. Feedback from artists and attendees over the last few years identified these points as priorities, says Goldstein.

Making a stronger connection with Franklinton is a good move due to the continued expansion of the community’s art scene, Goldstein says. The festival’s Big Local Art Village, Big Local Music Stage and Big Local Beer Garden will all be right at the entrance to Franklinton, and Franklinton artist studio space 400 West Rich will be open during the festival.

“They’re going to be open over the weekend,” Goldstein says. “We’re going to take the festival right up to their gates.” CS20 Garth Bishop is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at feedback@cityscenecolumbus.com.

HEALTH

This is Urgent!

Why it’s important to understand the urinary system

By Lydia Freudenberg

IN THE 2019 issues of CityScene Magazine, you’ve read about complex neurons and heart-

healthy tips. Now it’s time to cover a less glamorous bodily function – the urinary system.

“It’s one of the systems you take for granted until it doesn’t work, and then all of a sudden it’s urgent,” says Dr. Greg Lowe, laughing. Lowe is a Columbus-based urologist for OhioHealth.

The urinary system removes waste from blood by filtering it through the kidneys, then sending it down thin tubes called ureters, where it rests in the bladder and exits through the urethra. But that’s just the beginning.

From fun facts to life hacks, here is the next bodily system guide.

Dr. Greg Lowe

Infections and Diseases

Males and females have very similar urinary systems but, when it comes to infections and disease, biological sex can play a large factor.

• Urinary tract infections: According to the Urology Care Foundation, 10 in 25 women and three in 25 men will have symptoms of at least one UTI during their lifetime. Lowe suggests cranberry juice, proper hygiene and not putting off urination to help prevent UTIs. • Bladder cancer: Men have a one in 27 chance of getting bladder cancer, while women have a one in 89 chance. Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men.

Kidney Tidbits

Have you ever wondered why we have two kidneys?

“The process that ultimately leads to the kidneys, similar to that of the testicles and ovaries, tends to be symmetric across the body,” Lowe says. “From a standpoint of function, if you were to have one start to fail or trauma of one, you essentially have a built-in backup.”

In an article by the University Kidney Research Organization, about one in 1,000 individuals are actually born with just one kidney. There is limited data on why this occurs, but it does increase the risk of hypertension, proteinuria (protein in urine) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (scarring in the kidneys).

H2O Helps Flow

When it comes to maintaining the urinary system, drinking water or having a low-sodium diet can decrease the risk of kidney stones and help the system flow more efficiently.

10

cityscenecolumbus.com | June 2019

In a survey by DripDrop ORS Dehydration Relief, up to 75 percent of Americans are chronically dehydrated. Americans drink about eight servings of hydrating beverages per day, but it’s usually caffeinated drinks – beverages Lowe describes as diuretic or water-losing, thus providing little to no benefit.

According to the Mayo Clinic, the amount of water you consume daily depends on health status, activity level and where you live. A good rule of thumb:

ACCIDENTS DON’T TAKE A VACATION. about 15.5 cups of fluid per day for men and 11.5 cups for women.

Hate water? Lowe recommends water flavoring packets or low-calorie Gatorade.

Keep the Heart Pumping

With each heartbeat, the kidneys filter around 20 percent of the blood, Lowe says. Through heart-pumping cardio, blood vessels can improve or reroute to avoid narrow vessels, thus increasing overall blood flow. And because the kidneys determine the amount of fluid we hold, if they’re not getting enough blood, they will hold extra fluid we don’t need, Lowe says.

Excess liquid can lead to conditions including heart strains or swollen limbs.

And the effects of not exercising are similar to those of smoking.

“Smoking does narrow those blood vessels and changes the blood flow. And it greatly increases the risk of bladder cancer,” Lowe says. “Even when patients haven’t smoked for long periods of time, their risk is higher.”

NEITHER DO WE. Pediatric and adult care offered seven days a week.

Advancements

Urology was one of the first fields to test 3D-printed organs. According to a 2018 article by 3D Printing Industry, a 3D bioprinted bladder is successfully working for one patient, Luke Massella.

Since then, Massella has not required additional surgeries.

According to Lowe, who focuses on sexual medicine and male infertility, when children are treated for cancer it can damage their reproductive system. For prepubescent boys who have cancer, scientists are working to find ways to help regrow their sperm so they have the option to one day reproduce.

In a 2007 report by the University of Rochester Medical Center, scientists found that “a molecular receptor or protein that is much more active in men than women” may be why men are more prone to bladder cancer. New treatments and medicines are underway. CS20

Creekside Blues & Jazz Festival brings blues, brews and a little jazz, too

THE CREEKSIDE BLUES & Jazz Festival, Gahanna’s largest annual signature event and one of the state’s biggest blues and jazz festivals, celebrates its 21st anniversary on June 14-16 at Creekside Gahanna (117 Mill St.) featuring the region’s finest acts, along with activities and entertainment for the whole family.

Held the third weekend of June each year, the festival is set against the backdrop of the breathtaking Creekside Park in the heart of the city’s downtown. The three-day cultural celebration, presented by Visit Gahanna, is a unique experience unlike any other.

The musical schedule boasts 50-plus regional, national and international artists on five stages. With a combined 90 hours of music, the options are endless for festival fans.

Because music and libations go so well together, the festival will host evening tastings with Watershed Distillery (Friday) and Noble Cut Distillery and Simple Times Mixers (Saturday). Gahanna’s Creekside District restaurants and numerous food vendors throughout the festival offer a variety of options for lunch and dinner.

The Buskers Bayou Stage will host several comedians during Comedy Hour on Friday from 7-8 p.m., followed by a performance by magician Michael Kent from 8-9 p.m. The Giant Eagle Family Fun Zone offers a family-friendly area featuring hands-on crafts, games and activities.

Not a Final Curtain Call As one chapter ends, another begins

By Mallory Arnold

cityscenecolumbus.com | June 2019

B

Bill Goldsmith has worked for the Columbus Children’s Theatre for 30 years and has directed more than 250 productions, performed in approximately 50 shows, served as president of the Ohio Theatre Alliance and the Central Ohio Theatre Roundtable. With such an impressive resume, a performer may be tempted to regard this director as Mr. Goldsmith.

However, Goldsmith prefers a different kind of approach.

“From the beginning, I was never Mr. Goldsmith,” he says. “I was Bill, even to the children. It empowered them and put them on the same level as the adults.”

Goldsmith has spent many years working in youth theater, performing in his first show at age 9 and eventually studied acting at Bowling Green State University on a talent scholarship. He was required to audition for every show and, coincidentally, his last college performance was a children’s production.

“I’d never even seen a children’s show,” Goldsmith says. “But I did it, and there was something about how captivated and engaged the audience was. I immediately thought, ‘This is for me,’ and that was it.”

As for his career in Columbus, Goldsmith was originally involved in CATCO, which happened to be right next door to what was then the Columbus Junior Theatre of the Arts. According to Goldsmith, the performing arts organization was struggling and its arts director up and quit one day, leaving it leaderless. There was talk of shutting it down entirely.

(Enter Goldsmith: stage right.)

Upon accepting the position as managing director, Goldsmith immediately set to creating the very first youth theater program. Although budgets were low and funding was scarce, he never wavered in his passion and perseverance for the arts.

“I wasn’t scared at all – I was excited at the challenge,” Goldsmith says. “I knew children’s theater, I just needed time to turn the organization around.”

As the children’s series began to grow and mature, the theater received more publicity. Larger audiences were being drawn in and eventually the series was thriving. The organization changed its name officially from the Columbus Junior

Theatre of the Arts to Columbus Children’s Theatre in 1998.

Goldsmith says what makes the performances unique is the fact that children play child roles – not adults hired to pretend to be kids.

“I believe that children are more engaged watching a child perform, rather than an adult playing a child,” he says. “I just thought it was important for kids to be able to relate to a show.”

Although CCT offers many roles to young people, everyone involved is treated equally. Goldsmith believes a cast should get to know each other and always requires bonding activities so everyone involved can feel more comfortable.

“If you’re not having fun doing theater, what’s the point?” Goldsmith says.

When asked about retirement, Goldsmith doesn’t plan to exit stage left entirely.

“I’m retiring from this role of directing – not from theater,” he says. “I’m excited to open that door of acting and performing and revisit that aspect of my life now that I’ll have more time.”

With many years as an experienced actor, Goldsmith remembers several roles he enjoyed like Ebenezer Scrooge and Captain Hook. During his time as director, if an actor fell sick and couldn’t perform, Goldsmith would take the stage. In one showing of Oliver!, the actress who played Mrs. Corney fell ill, and Goldsmith didn’t waste any time shaving his beard and throwing a wig on to take her place.

Though he will be leaving CCT’s director chair, he has no doubt that the theater

Wizard of Oz

Bill Goldsmith directing Beauty and the Beast

will continue to positively impact children and families in the community.

“The skills that we’re teaching kids through theater will impact them for a lifetime,” he says.

As he finalizes his last few months, getting his ducks in a row and working to transition duties over to others, Goldsmith looks back on how things have changed since he arrived at the theater.

“We started with a $110,000 yearly budget – now we’re at around $1.6 million,” Goldsmith says. “It’s a different animal now, growing, maturing and becoming a major institution.”

You can practically hear the smile as he concludes, “I’ve played my part.”

And even as Goldsmith leaves his director’s chair at CCT, Columbus eagerly awaits his next appearance. This is certainly not a

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

final curtain call, but we’re happy to give a standing ovation all the same.

Six Weeks In The new Director of the Wexner Center for the Arts sees Columbus through fresh eyes Johanna Burton is officially six weeks in.

As the new director of the Wexner Center for the arts, Burton’s arrival in Columbus is more pertinent than ever with the upcoming 30th anniversary celebration of the center. The official celebration will begin in the fall with an exhibition, public programs, performances and more.

Previously, Burton was Keith Herring Director of Education and Public Engagement at the New Museum in New York City, where she has been thoroughly acknowledged and revered for her talents.

As Artistic Director at BalletMet Columbus, Edwaard Liang uses rhythm and movement to inspire. He knows that Columbus is a city on the move, and there’s no place he’d rather make his art.

Through fresh eyes, she sees Columbus as a place of civic drive and conversation.

“What I’m seeing in Columbus that I really like is the kind of verbal and artistic interpretation around civic responsibility,” Burton says. “I’ve noJohanna Burton ticed that people here are kind of cheerleaders for each other.”

Burton believes that while each city has particular concerns relative to location, the increasing interconnectedness of the world allows artistic conversation to flow everywhere.

With the accessibility and technology artists now have, shared questions and answers are now being focused on more than ever.

The Wexner has always been known for pushing boundaries and taking risks, and Burton intends to continue to do so, particularly through social impact.

“The kinds of projects that are about meeting audiences halfway and engaging with them – a lot of artists are working that way these days.” Burton says.

She also hopes to partner with cultural leaders in Columbus and collaborate across institutions.

“Our place at the Wexner has been to show cutting-edge art, to highlight artists who are willing to take risks,” Burton says.

“I’d like to focus on that, in terms of what’s going on in the world.”

Recently, the Wexner featured a performance called The Symphonic Body/Food by choreographer Ann Carlson. The orchestral dance was created on the basis of engaging the community on what the Columbus food system means to them. Each movement was built from everyday movements, from a mundane meeting posture to teaching a cooking class.

“I think that’s the kind of project that keys into the specificities of what goes on in real life,” Burton says. “People get really excited when art intersects with questions people are already asking.”

Now feeling acclimated to her new surroundings and home, Burton looks forward to planning all the exciting celebrations that are included in the Wexner’s 30th anniversary.

“Here, I feel a lot of desire for people to see each other do well,” Burton says, “and as a new leader in the community, I’ve felt people are welcoming and excited to see what we do next.” CS20

Saving the Planet One Meal at a Time

With a growing number of options, going vegan in Columbus keeps getting easier

At first, the thought of going vegan might seem daunting. Cutting out meat seems difficult enough, but don’t forget: ice cream, some salad dressing and even most beers aren’t vegan-friendly. But what if what you get out of it – not just for your health, but for the environment, too – outweighed what you’re giving up?

Sure, the benefits of going vegan can be as simple as thinking cows are cute (a valid reason, cows are adorable). But what if there were other, more tangible benefits of going vegan?

As it turns out, there are plenty.

A 2018 study in Science estimated that if everyone in the U.S. adopted the vegan diet, food emissions would be cut by 61 to 73 percent. If the entire world went vegan, around 76 percent of the globe’s agricultural land could be reclaimed.

The study suggested that even just cut-

ting back on purchasing food from highimpact producers could have a major impact on the world. Reducing our intake of products like oils, sugar, alcohol and other stimulants produced by high-impact producers could decrease emissions by 31 to 46 percent.

Plus, a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vegans are thinner, are at a lower risk of cardiovascular disease than non-vegans, and have lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

Oh, and did we mention that vegan food is delicious?

Take a walk through Eden Burger on High Street. At first, it seems like your typical homegrown burger place; mouthwateringly greasy burgers, welcoming and friendly staff, frothy milkshakes. But if you take a closer look at the burgers themselves, you’ll find something a little off. Chad Goodwin,

Eden Burger

co-founder of Eden Burger, recalls when a less-than-sober customer approached the restaurant from the bar next door.

“He ordered, came back and the tray was spotless. And he was like, ‘I think you guys may have given me a bean burger,’” says Goodwin. “I was like, ‘Actually, my dude, they’re all bean burgers.’ He really enjoyed it.”

Everything you’ll find at Eden Burger – from the milkshakes to the cheeseburgers to the mozzarella sticks – is completely, 100 percent vegan. Though this may have been a total anomaly even just five years ago, it’s not so hard to find vegan-friendly dining options in Columbus.

“There was a transition period (after adopting the vegan diet). There weren’t a whole lot of options,” says Eden Burger co-founder Sebastian Kovach. “It seems like in the last three years, the amount of vegan options has kind of exploded both at the grocery store and even restaurants offering different options.”

Eden Burger opened its doors in 2016 and has been attracting customers both plant-based and meat-eating alike. And it’s not the only restaurant in Columbus serving vegan fare. Portia’s Café, which opened in 2013, has become a true Columbus staple, serving 100 percent vegan food, too. And for the lover of bread, the Angry Baker serves a completely vegan and vegetarian menu. The positive reaction Columbus residents have to vegan food, Goodwin says, is indicative of a shift in the way we eat.

“Going vegan is the single biggest thing an individual can do to impact climate change,” says Goodwin. “We’ve had a lot of good reactions. Our feed and customer service has helped anchor us.”

Grains to Greens Swapping grains with vegetables in carb-heavy meals

By Mallory Arnold

Though finding a wealth of entirely vegan restaurants – both inside and outside of Columbus – might be hard, you can still find vegan dishes in restaurants throughout the city.

Little Eater is as plant-based as possible, focused on showcasing the beauty of produce and refocusing the vegetable as the centerpiece of every dish. Katalina’s has a wealth of vegan foods interspersed with vegetarian and meat dishes. Over at Basil, most every dish can be tweaked to fit any vegan’s diet.

For the vegans or vegan-curious people who are concerned they’ll have to beg their meat-loving friends to eat at plantbased restaurants, think again. Just typing “vegan restaurants in Columbus” into TripAdvisor offers pages of results. Though not every spot offers a meatless menu, from Z Cucina and Northstar Café, to Bakersfield and Lindey’s, even the Old Mohawk and Cap City Fine Diner, you’re sure to find a vegan dish. Even Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace has become known for its wildly tasty vegan dogs.

So while you enjoy a healthier diet and a cleaner world, by adopting a vegan diet in Columbus, you’re supporting local businesses too.

“I don’t want to pressure anybody or put them on the spot,” Goodwin says, “but if they’re looking for a place to get a traditional American meal that’s better for them and the environment, we’ll be right here, waiting with a smile.”

While a grain-free diet is important for people with gluten intolerance, replacing grains with vegetables in some meals can be a way to reduce your intake of processed foods and pack in more nutrients.

Spaghetti Squash Pasta It’s almost impossible to recognize this impasta because of how delicious it is. After it’s baked, spaghetti squash pulls apart in strings exactly like pasta, making it easy to plate and serve with your favorite sauce.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust Don’t knock it ‘til you try it. Even the most loyal pizza lovers admit cauliflower-based pizza crust is amazing. It’s incredibly simple to make and even more fun to shock people with after they’ve taken their first bite.

Sweet Potato Rice Looking to spice up a boring brown rice meal? Grab a sweet potato and some of those leftover vegetables that have been sitting in your fridge for the past few days. With a couple pulses in a food processor or blender, sweet potatoes mince into rice and are a perfect sweet flavor with any spicy rice add-ins.

Eggplant Sandwich Once you’ve gotten past the initial “you’re kidding me” reaction to the name, this breadless sandwich is life changing. By baking eggplants in slices, you can create the perfect medium to hold any kind of protein or vegetable you crave. Want to be an even bigger risk-taker? Try buttering both sides with cashew cheese.

Hooray for Hummus Budd Dairy Food Hall chef partner spices things up with modern Israeli dishes

owned a restaurant in Chicago, Schwartz wanted to incorporate her heritage into the menu by creating an Israeli hummusiya – a restaurant focused on hummus – with a Mediterranean twist.

“We’re really proud to say this will be the first hummusiya in Columbus and actually, as of right now, in Ohio,” Schwartz says. “We want to encourage people to try new flavors and eat in a different way by sharing, and it just happens to be healthy. … It’s all about being a memorable experience.”

Schwartz is already a pro to the food scene, though. After realizing the lack of authentic and tasty hummus in grocery stores, Schwartz set out and created Darista Dips in 2010. Incorporating ingredients such as beets, curry, peppers and chocolate, the pre-packaged dips are inspired by her world travels and sold in local grocery stores.

As for Darista in the food hall, the menu centers around the dips. Patrons can try lemon curry chicken, lamb meatballs with tzatziki sauce, roasted carrots with harissa honey sauce and more, all on a thick bed of creamy Jerusalem hummus. Darista will also sell baked goods and vegan shakes, all of which feature tahini, a sesame-based spice.

“I’m so thrilled and humbled to be a part of this,” Schwartz says. “The other chef partners and the support of Cameron Mitchell (Restaurants) is really energizing.”

For the CMR team, they knew Schwartz was a perfect fit since the beginning.

“She just has great food and is a great person, that’s the best way to describe it,” Weis says. “And ultimately, our goal is to help each of these (chef partners) to go on to something bigger and better if they want and can. … I’m really excited to see them succeed.”

Other confirmed chef partners include Ed Bisconti with Borgata Pizza Café, Jordan Lamatrice with Alphabetical Comfort Kitchen and Sadaya “Daisy” Lewis with Modern Southern Table. For additional information, visit www.budddairyfoodhall.com.

For the past year or so, Columbus has buzzed about the new Cameron Mitchell Budd Dairy Food Hall in an old yet beautiful dairy factory in Italian Village. The structure is undergoing a major renovation, and even though it’s hit some bumps due to its classification as a historic building, don’t worry; the innovative food hall is expected to open late 2019.

The food hall will be located in the original factory and feature a couple of bars including a rooftop hangout, community tables, games and several booths serving a variety of food. Apart from the rotating booth that is incubator-style and will host up-and-coming chefs or local culinary students’ work, there are eight chef partners each bringing their unique flavors.

“It’s going to be this great community asset,” says Steve Weis, vice president of development for Cameron Mitchell Restaurants. “We’re trying to create this really great dining experience that is all about featuring our chef partners. And we wanted to create an environment where people are sharing tables and interacting with other folks.”

One chef partner, Dara Schwartz, is bringing some new flavors to Columbus with her first-ever restaurant, Darista.

A recent survey found that 80 percent of foodies couldn’t name a Latin American dish that wasn’t Mexican. Can you? Go ahead, take your time.

It may come as a surprise that Latin American cuisine consists of food not just from Central and South Americas, but the Caribbean as well. Each country has its own distinct culture and as a result, its own unique cuisine. That’s why these dishes come out so colorful in texture and flavors – because it’s truly more of a collection of cuisines rather than one entity.

For example, staples in Latin American cuisine are rice and beans, however, each country prepares them differently. In Peru, dinners are made of fava and white beans, whereas Cubans often slow-cook black beans.

Condiments may also vary depending on the area, but are vital to most every Latin American dish. In any meal, you may find guacamole, pico de gallo, mole, chimichurri, chili, aji, pebre and other various salsas.

In an attempt to wrangle these flourishing flavors and tastes into categories, we’ve divided Latin American cuisine into three sections, each with an example of a popular dish.

Common ingredients: tropical fruit, lobster, Antarctic krill, potatoes, beef and pork Brazilian Fish Stew • 3 tbsp. lime juice • 1 tbsp. ground cumin • 1 tbsp. paprika • 2 tsp. minced garlic • 2 tbsp. olive oil • 2 onions • 4 bell peppers • 1 ½ lbs tilapia fillets • 1 can diced tomatos • 1 can coconut milk • 1 bunch cilantro – Combine lime juice, cumin, paprika and garlic – Add tilapia, toss to coat; cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes – Fry onions in olive oil 1-2 minutes – Add bell peppers, tilapia and diced tomatoes – Pour coconut milk over mixture – Cover and simmer 15 minutes – Stir in cilantro and cook until tilapia is cooked through

To Keto or Keo-Don’t A look at the pros and cons of the popular, controversial low-carb diet

By Mallory Arnold

Ketogenic Diet: The keto diet is a low-carb, high-fat and protein diet meant to push your body into the state of ketosis, which means that you begin to burn fat for energy.

Pros Weight loss – If done correctly, you can lose weight on the keto diet. Studies show that people following the high-fat lifestyle lost 2.2 times more weight than those on a low-fat diet.

No calorie restricting – You aren’t required to calorie count, which means less stressing about tracking numbers and restricting food.

Other benefits – The diet can improve cholesterol levels, blood pressure and blood sugar. Recently, it has been suggested that the keto diet may reduce risks with Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, polycystic ovary syndrome and acne.

Delicious food – No need to throw away flavor for fat. Tasty options like meat, fish, eggs, butter, cheese, nuts and seeds, avocados, and low-carb veggies are all allowed on the diet.

Cons Weight gain – Sounds contradictory, right? Many people struggle with following the keto diet exactly how it’s supposed to be followed, and therefore end up putting on some pounds. Many

24

cityscenecolumbus.com | June 2019

keto-goers binge on fatty meats and high-calorie foods, simply because they are low in carbohydrates.

Keto flu – Doctors explain that people starting the diet may experience the keto flu, a phenomenon that can include headaches, nausea, dizziness and irritability.

Risk of heart disease – The required amounts of protein and saturated fat lead people to turn to animal fats, which can increase cholesterol and therefore contribute to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Not sustainable – This diet isn’t meant to be long term. When you do go back to eating carbs, you most likely will regain the weight you lost.

Questions to ask yourself before going keto • Have you consulted your doctor?

• Do you have weight-related health issues?

• Can you follow a diet exactly as directed?

• Do you have any food restrictions/limitations?

Keeping it Casual

For those nights that you really aren’t feeling the whole cooking thing, there are better options

By Rocco Falleti

Preparing a meal in the midst of a chaotic week can often be stressful. While fast food may sound appealing, many people are skipping out on a greasy McDonald’s hamburger and fries for a more complete and, at times, more healthful dining option.

Fast casual dining is not an entirely new trend, but one that has continued to grow over the past decade.

In 2015, the Washington Post reported that fast casual dining had grown by 550 percent since 1999, which is more than ten times the growth of the fast food industry over that same span, according to data from market research firm Euromonitor International.

Think restaurant giants like Chipotle, BIBIBOP Asian Grill, Panera Bread, Shake Shack and you are at the center of fast casual dining.

What sets fast casual apart from fast food in general is the quality and variety of food. With a slightly higher price point, customers are given more of a dining experience for a smaller amount of time.

Though the food is prepared rather quickly, there is more attention and variety provided for the made-to-order menu items. Oftentimes, these restaurants present a more welcoming and relaxed environments in their dining areas, making it a perfect place to meet up with some friends.

Much like Chipotle and its mission, fast casual restaurants are determined to provide high-integrity meals. They use fewer frozen products, focus more on fresh ingredients and, although the price tag may be a little higher than average, the quality and experience of this trend far exceeds a normal fast food drive through.

At the end of the day, fast casual dining affords the consumer more liberty and cre-

ative input into what you are going to eat.

And with opportunities for more healthful options, the sky is the limit.

Culture Shock a County Away Licking County is a nearby sanctuary for the arts

By Amanda DePerro

FROM THE SHEER number of galleries, artists and art-focused organizations in Columbus, it’s no secret the capital city is a great place to immerse yourself in creativity. But being close to another community – just a 30-mile drive away – is a treat for Columbus art lovers.

Licking County boasts an abundance of history, art and culture. To really experience the magic of the county though, one must pass the graffitied walls of downtown Newark, listen to the buzz throughout Granville and, of course, taste ice cream made on-site at Velvet Ice Cream in Utica.

Above all, feel the excitement and inspiration that Licking County artists elicit.

That is, with the help of organizations like Explore Licking County and its Art Lives Here initiative as well as the Cultural Alliance of Licking County.

Watch It Licking County may be small, but with three theater outlets and two university theater programs, there is a creative niche for everyone. The Midland Theatre brings in acts both locally and internationally known, and at Weathervane Playhouse, you’ll get a healthy dose of history to go with its musicals.

“The art community continues to thrive here, and that is why we say Art Lives Here,” says Carol Thress, director of partner engagement at Explore Licking County.

The Licking County Players is another staple in the community, featuring eight shows each season. Visitors can get a taste of budding talent through theater programs at The Ohio State University at Newark and Denison University, and don’t forget to check out Denison’s brand-new Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts.

In addition to The Works, which has become known for putting the arts in STEAM, Columbus visitors looking for art galleries can simply take a walk through Licking County.

Stroll through Granville and visit the Art Barn, Bryn Du Art Center or Art @ 43023, then head to downtown Newark for the Licking County Arts Gallery or National Heisey Glass Museum. Or get an even closer look at Denison at the Denison Art Space.

“The village of Granville has the Granville Art Walk throughout the summer – it’s another way for people to enjoy the art

Hear It Thirty One West may draw you in with its incredible curb appeal, but you won’t want to leave after hearing some of the acts it draws in. Or, for a differently paced but equally exciting evening, try the Newark-Granville Symphony Orchestra.

New this year is Ohiolina, a can’t-miss music festival formerly in Mount Vernon. It will combine the sounds of Ohio and North Carolina, Sept. 2022 in Granville.

Visitors with big appetites will want to grab breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Nutcracker Family Restaurant, which was the recipient of Ohio Restaurant Association’s 2014 Outstanding Community Service Award. Originally opened as an ice cream parlor in old downtown Pataskala, this establishment now offers a full

menu, in addition to Amish chocolates, pies and specialty candies.

Our advice? Just book a room at one of Licking County’s incredible bed and breakfasts or hotels, because you can’t miss the music that rocks the county after the sun goes down.

In less than an hour drive, you can sample some of the Midwest’s best artists and organizations that are dedicated to enriching life in the region. There’s no better time to visit, as Licking County experiences an arts renaissance with revitalization efforts led by county leaders – and they’re just getting started.

“You can see the growth throughout the arts community,” says Thress. “We want to provide memorable experiences for both residents and visitors of Licking County, and the art scene is certainly doing that.” CS20 For more information about the arts in Licking County, visit www.explorelc.org/art.

Home on the Range Creating a Western dreamhouse

Luxury Living Renovations

A Piece of Texas These homeowners have everything from dogs to horses to bullhorns – but they needed the perfect Western dreamhouse to match

By Mallory Arnold

When Jennifer Zipfel and Faith Herring, designers at Dave Fox Design Build Remodelers, took on a job for clients who wistfully spoke of a Texas dream home, they had no idea what kind of rodeo they were getting into.

These particular homeowners loved the location and the land their house rested on, but with eight dogs, six horses and two Texas longhorns, they were looking for something bigger.

“They didn’t really think they wanted to do the Western style at first,” Zipfel says.

“But then as we went through the design process, they realized their true tastes.”

Approaching the Vargo family house, the driveway is flanked by long pastures on each side, where you’re greeted with massive Texas longhorns, grazing and lumbering along the fence.

“We call them pasture art,” homeowner Mike Vargo says.

The Longhorns, along with their history of owning horses, are some symbols of Texas that the family keeps close, as Sandy Vargo once lived in the Lone Star State

training horses before moving to Ohio.

Each of their names is inspired by The Ohio State University.

The family has also owned up to seven border collies at once – now enjoying the company of a rottweiler, two Chihuahuas and two professionally trained German shepherds.

Kitchen The homeowners wanted updated appliances and a lot of them. While fancy kitchenware makes for a mean dinner menu, it can be hard to make big, bulky machines look like, well, not big, bulky machines.

“The client didn’t want to see the appliances, they wanted them hidden,” Herring says. “We made sure the freezer, the fridge

and the dishwasher were all made to look like cabinetry.”

The kitchen’s original island was too small, so the designers expanded it to allow more seating and gathering space. Perhaps the most recognizable in the space, however, is the alluring copper in the backsplash, custom range hood and accents.

“It started with the hammered copper sink,” Herring says of the color scheme.

“They wanted warmth. From there, I found the backsplash tile and I thought it would look great with the copper hood and black strapping.”

something you’re not embarrassed to walk your guests through?

Even when shrinking the overall volume of the space, by adding functional storage the room was turned from cluttered and squished to reasonable and organized.

“Knowing what the homeowners wanted to store was key,” Zipfel says. “Then with the high ceilings we added baskets and cubbies.”

“Right from the start, that was important to the homeowners,” Zipfel says. “We just needed to design the cabinets and measure the trophies to make sure they would all fit – it worked out great.”

However, there was a minor bump in the road when Zipfel and Herring realized the pool table and homeowner’s 800-pound gun safe were far too heavy for the floor.

So, Zipfel and Herring had to get creative. The flooring had to be run up to the gun safe and the carpet was inlayed.

“We cut out the trim around it so it lays flat against the wall,” Zipfel says. “We just left out the flooring underneath the safe, so it’s really built into the house.”

Crisis averted.

Overall, the house is straight out of a Western dream.

“We call it our piece of Texas in the middle of Ohio,” says Herring, laughing. v Mallory Arnold is an assistant editor. Feedback welcome at marnold@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Tropicalia

By Rocco Falleti YOU HEARD IT here first… Avocados aren’t just for guacamole anymore. The Tropicalia

is inspired by the freshest ingredients available, while keeping up with Del Mar SoCal Kitchen’s breezy vibes and features a new twist from everyone’s favorite fruit. Yes, technically, the avocado is considered a fruit, as it meets all of the botanical criteria to be considered a berry.

“It’s bright fun and healthy, there is nothing like it,” Del Mar bartender, Sara Bace says. “It’s not necessarily a heavy drink either, but it gives you that mouth coating feel which is really nice.” CS20

Hit the Road

Plan a road trip with these pro tips and itineraries

By Jenny Wise

THE CLASSIC AMERICAN road trip: there’s nothing quite like a couple of good friends, a tank of gas and the open road. Many people imagine a lengthy cross-country adventure, but that doesn’t always have to be the case.

CityScene compiled a few itineraries for those who call Columbus home looking to explore new places and escape routine.

There are countless ways to organize the following trips, each of which can be divided into smaller trips to work with the time you have to spend.

Great Lakes Loop

Pittsburgh: First stop on this trip is a three-hour drive from Columbus, offering rich culture and history with attractions like the Andy Warhol Museum, the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium and more.

Allegheny National Forest: Just two hours northeast of the city awaits a landscape filled with trees, rivers and plenty of campsites. This is a perfect stop on your way out of the city if you enjoy a bit of fresh air or want to take a hike through the national forest.

ProTip: When traveling to multiple destinations in one trip, it’s important to know the climate of each area and to pack versatile clothing that can easily be layered.

Niagara Falls: Another two hours north, passing through Buffalo, the next stop on this road trip is a classic tourist destination shared between two countries. Whether you choose to enjoy the American or Canadian side, this is a spectacular display of 40

cityscenecolumbus.com | June 2019

nature’s grandeur and sheer power.

At this point in the trip, you may choose to head back on the five-and-a-half-hour drive to Columbus. However, this is a prime opportunity to visit the nearby city of Toronto, especially if you’ve already crossed the border to enjoy the falls.

Toronto: About an hour-and-a-half drive along the shore of Lake Ontario, travelers will find yet another worthy destination. Check out all that Toronto has to offer, from the iconic CN Tower and the Royal Ontario Museum to Casa Loma and the bustling Distillery District.

Detroit: Finally heading back toward home, road warriors will pass through

Detroit, just over a four-hour drive from Toronto. Maybe only staying for the afternoon before making that final three-anda-half-hour trek back to Columbus, visitors should check out Belle Isle Park, The Heidelberg Project outdoor, non-profit art space and the Henry Ford Museum.

Westbound Weekend Pro-Tip: The itinerary below focuses on spending just one day in each city, but you could extend the road trip by choosing to stay longer in any or all of the following destinations.

Indianapolis: Two-and-a-half hours west of Columbus lies Indiana’s capital city. Indianapolis boasts many adventures including a hike along Monon Trail or a bike ride in Eagle Creek Park. If you have little ones tagging along, or you’re still a child at heart, check out The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis for a fun interactive experience.

another optional stop on this road trip.

If you plan to only spend a day here, make sure to check out the view at Reeds Lake, visit Calder Plaza for a bit of iconic public art, explore the Grand Rapids Public Museum or the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum.

life on Broadway and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

ProTip: If you’re hoping to see the artsy, more eclectic side of the city, check out The Gulch – an upscale neighborhood five minutes south of downtown known for its trendy restaurants, fashion boutiques and chic hotels.

Pigeon Forge: Escape the bustle of Nashville in this mountain town destination three-and-a-half hours to the east.

Home to the famed Dollywood theme park, including rides, an adjoining water park and a museum full of Dolly Parton’s costumes and memorabilia. You can also find the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge.

Asheville: Home to a growing art scene and historic architecture, Asheville is a worthy destination in western North Carolina. Visitors should try to catch a live performance, whether it be at one of the under-the-radar establishments or a classic like The Orange Peel or the Grey Eagle. Those who enjoy fine art and historical adventure should check out the Biltmore Estate, George Vanderbilt’s 250-room French Renaissance castle where you can explore impeccable architecture, shopping, dining and the nation’s most-visited winery. CS20 Jenny Wise is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at feedback@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Chicago: Next stop is the Windy City.

Home to many sights including Millennium Park and its notable “bean” (Cloud Gate), Navy Pier, The Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, one could easily spend an entire weekend in Chicago.

If you have the time and are visiting during baseball season, you should go see the Cubs play at Wrigley Field – the second oldest stadium in the sport. Even if you aren’t a huge fan, this is Americana at its finest. Not to mention, Wrigleyville is home to one hell of a game day celebration.

Grand Rapids: Just shy of three hours from Chi-town, Grand Rapids is

Fun Fact: Grand Rapids is home to its own Millennium Park, in which heavily used land has been reclaimed to form a six-acre beach and wetlands with hiking trails.

Southern Excursion

Nashville: A prime site for country music and the honkey-tonk, Nashville is another one of those places that you could spend a long weekend exploring and still be left wanting more. Now a cultural hub for artists, musicians and performers, there is much to see and do here. Country music fans should tour the famed Grand Ole Opry, the nightJune 2019 | cityscenecolumbus.com

Get Busy Living, or Get Busy Dying Just an hour away is perhaps the greatest escape – the Shawshank Redemption Anniversary

By Mallory Arnold MANSFIELD, OHIO IS a tucked away, some-

what rural city, where the community is tight-knit and proud of tradition. You may stop by the Blueberry Patch for a handpicked lunch or ride the famous carousel downtown before heading over to the beautiful Kingwood Center Gardens. In the fall, you can take a haunted Halloween tour of the spooky Ohio State Reformatory and in the winter, Snow Trails attracts skiers and snowboarders from all over the Midwest. But perhaps what Mansfield is best known for is the filming location for the classic 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption.

This year, the movie celebrates its 25th anniversary and the city is planning an entire weekend to honor the milestone. From Aug. 16-18, you can participate in everything from tours of famous movie sites, celebrity appearances and even a 7K run.

The Shawshank Trail

Shawshank Trail was created 11 years ago, containing sites where the movie was filmed. You can pick up a map and visit each marked site, standing in the same place famous actors like Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins stood. There are 16 spots in total, ranging from the reformatory (known in the film as the Shawshank Pris-

The famous Brooks’ bench seen in the movie.

Movie Screening

The Shawshank Redemption premiered in Mansfield at the Renaissance Theater in 1994. Now, you can watch the movie in the same theater, alongside the real actors.

The movie begins at 7:15 p.m., but if you arrive at the earlier 6 p.m. ticketed event, the cast and crew will be onstage talking about their experiences on set.

Shawshank Hustle 7K

The fifth Shawshank Hustle 7K will take place the morning of Aug. 17, beginning right at the Ohio State Reformatory.

People from across the country come to run through downtown Mansfield, zooming past filming sites along the way. Actors from the movie will be in attendance for

Throughout the weekend, nine actors will be present in different locations to sign autographs and talk about filming the movie.

“People love the movie Shawshank Redemption because it’s a movie about hope and friendship,” Jodie Snavely, an organizer of the Shawshank Redemption Anniversary, says. “You’re going to be able to stand in the same locations as Red and Andy and Brooks – that’s what makes it so amazing.”

Get your tickets ahead of time, register for the Shawshank Hustle 7K and check for more events being added at www.shaw shanktrail.com.

“No place else in the world can say that Shawshank was there,” Snavely says. “This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in these real filming sites and meet actors from everyone’s classical favorite movie.”

2019’s Inductees Emerge Columbus Arts Festival to highlight emerging artists

By Mallory Grayson

the Scioto Mile in downtown Columbus. Included in the festival are this year’s Emerging Artists. The Emerging Artist program was initiated in 2011, with the intention of recognizing several central Ohio artists who have little to no experience exhibiting art at a national festival.

Out of 850 applicants, 14 artists were chosen for this year. CityScene had the chance to catch up with three of those artists to hear their story.

Cheong-ah Hwang

Of all the applicants, Hwang received the highest score for her entry. Manipulating paper using techniques such as embossing, puncturing, tearing, scoring and bending, Hwang creates beautiful 3-D paper sculptures.

“One of the most distinguishable characteristics of my paper sculptures is that they have a floating effect,” says Hwang.

Using acid-free glue, she assembles each layer of paper using supports made from other paper to create the unique effect.

When asked what influences her work the most, Hwang replies, “Everybody has rough times, and I have some, too.

Whenever I am stressed out, someone jolly and bright always appears and helps me out…I treasure those moments when I see sunshine from other people, and they make me want to create artwork that provides that same kind of energy.”

Hwang’s parents worked as printers in Seoul, South Korea when she was a child.

“Back then, materials were scarce in Korea, but not for me; paper was abundant for me,” says Hwang.

She recalls how her parents would bring her any paper that had been Cheong-ah Hwang A Hummingbird and Hibiscus 44

cityscenecolumbus.com | June 2019

thrown out at work. She’d draw on it, cut it up and create with it. Everything she does now comes from the experiences she had as a child making art out of scraps of paper.

Hwang credits working part-time as a Korean interpreter for giving her the reason and inspiration to keep pursuing her dream to be an artist.

“I have visited the Columbus Arts Festival for years hoping maybe someday I’d have one of those booths,” says Hwang.

“I got in this year, and I am very excited about the opportunity to meet real people, get real critics and share my artwork.”

Matt Tisdale

Using traditional oil mediums on masonite panels, Matt Tisdale creates paintings that closely resemble the art movement of Surrealism.

“Surrealism is a 20th-century movement in art and literature which sought to release the creative potential of the subconscious and unconscious mind,” says Tisdale. “My paintings have symbolism and personal meaning, but the artwork is more important to the viewer.”

One of Tisdale’s favorite parts about being an artist is hearing and conversing with others about how they interpret his work.

Growing up, Tisdale’s parents always encouraged him to paint and draw about every and any subject matter.

“I remember looking at my father’s fiction and sci-fi book covers for inspiration,”

After her involvement in the I, Too, Sing America: The Harlem Renaissance at 100 project, Sénatus has exploded onto the scene as a new artist. Her artwork is mostly made using acrylic on canvas, watercolor and pastels on paper, as well as using pigment on humans for living artwork.

“My work explores one’s relationship with oneself and the multimedia experiences that influence all of us as multifaceted beings,” says Sénatus. “I experiment with the real and surreal, contemporary and abstract, and the healing properties of color and stones.”

While some of her art includes spiritual aspects, many of her portraits include various parts of herself as well. Coming from a creative family and living in Haiti for over 10 years, Sénatus says her adolescent years and Haitian street art have influenced her the most as an artist.

Matt Tisdale QUEEN

“Being encouraged to be a free thinker and the exposure to so many amazing, uniquely talented people have really inspired me, too,” says Sénatus.

Some of Sénatus’ first memories are sitting in front of a fish tank drawing fish with her brother. Because she’s been an artist her entire life, she never thought to show anyone her work until a friend invited her to participate in an event.

“I’ve always painted for myself, so it’s an honor to be recognized,” says Sénatus.

She says the opportunity has confirmed that she should continue doing what she loves and she hopes it will open the door for more connections, opportunities, influencers and more. On a larger scale, she hopes her participation in the Columbus Arts Festival will spread the message behind her art, that everyone is “uniquely gifted, and the world needs you.”

The Columbus Arts Festival is produced by the Greater Columbus Arts Council.

says Tisdale. He also loved the illustrations used in the Heavy Metal magazines around their home.

Now, Tisdale says his wife and daughter are his biggest influences, always pushing him to keep growing as an artist.

Over the years, Tisdale has created murals, sculptures and other paintings for a small company called the T. Brausch Studio, located in Canal Winchester.

There he is able to collaborate with many other skilled artists, working on everything from residential and commercial projects to Catholic sculpture restoration. After five years with the studio, Tisdale tried his hand at graphic design.

“I’ve created apparel graphics for many fashion retailers here in central Ohio, but I am very excited to get back to painting,” he says.

Tisdale notes that the friends he’s made in the arts have helped to refine his skills. “I’m very grateful to be included as an Emerging Artist this year,” says Tisdale. “I can’t wait to rub elbows with some of the amazing people in the festival arts scene, and I am hoping this will be a jumping off point to a brighter future in the arts.”

No Carbon Copies Local artist Alice Carpenter finds calling through community

By Marissa Smithinsky AT AN EARLY age, Alice Carpenter’s ex-

posure to art was limited to locally made quilts, art sold at county fairs and the surrounding beauty of nature. Growing up in a small Appalachian Ohio town, the idea of a professional artist was foreign to her.

“From my earliest age, I delighted in drawing and coloring. And I must have impressed others with my enthusiasm, because throughout grade school and high school, I was the go-to person to create special art projects and athletic banners,” Carpenter says.

Throughout high school, Carpenter amazed her classmates and mentors with her artwork, but she didn’t see herself as an artist.

“Though my high school art teacher encouraged me to apply to the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art), the concept of artist was too foreign so I chose to pursue a degree in art education instead. Teaching art, I understood,” Carpenter says.

It wasn’t until almost two decades after college that Carpenter found her true calling as an artist.

“Graduating into a dismal job market for teachers, I ended up working in a number of jobs, none related to art. It was not until approximately 16 years after graduating from college that I found art again at our local Columbus Whetstone Rec Center,” Carpenter says.

While signing her kids up for summer classes, Carpenter decided to sign up for an art class at the Whetstone Community Center, and it was there that she finally saw herself as an artist.

“It was in this small rec center class and it was through the generous encouragement of my instructor that I first started seeing myself as an artist,” Carpenter says.

48

cityscenecolumbus.com | June 2019

After those first formative weeks in her local rec center art class, Carpenter began to see art as a huge part of her life. From then on she enrolled in the Columbus College of Art and Design as well as the Cultural Arts Center.

There was no looking back at this point for Carpenter and she dove in to watercolors as her focus. It wasn’t until she accidentally tried new relief inks for linoleum block prints that she made the shift to monotypes.

“In 2014, my work took a major shift from colorful watercolors to extremely limited palette monotypes,” Carpenter says. “The inks worked poorly for the lino prints, but made wonderful monotypes.”

Creating a monotype falls somewhere between painting and printmaking. “It is a one-of-a-kind transfer of an inked or painted image from a non-porous surface to paper. Carpenter begins by covering the surface with relief inks and an image is developed by removing portions of the ink with brush, rags and/or palette knife.

Carpenter has a distinct technique with making monotypes. She does this to ensure that her images are unique as well as smaller in size.

“Normally a monotype is created by laying paper over the inked image, and transferring it from plate to paper with hand pressure or through a press,” Carpenter says. “My process is different in that I use a brayer (roller) as part of the transfer process. I roll my brayer over the inked image and then roll my brayer, which now holds the inked image, onto paper.”

With the appearance of black and white photographs, Carpenter’s art includes many repetitive elements such as

the phases of the moon, water and stars.

Her work is influenced by her childhood in her Appalachian hometown and the surrounding natural beauty of nature. In fact, Carpenter says, she finds magic in these elements.

“My monotypes remind me of old black and white photographs,” she says.

“I find magic in certain elements that keep reappearing in my work; all phases of the moon, water, stars, sailboats, and the image of two structures in an isolated landscape.

Over the past six years, Carpenter has continued to grow as an artist and has been honored to be selected as a Greater Columbus Arts Council Visual Arts Fellowship Finalist. She owes most of her success and support to the Columbus arts community which encouraged and inspired her to become an artist.

If not for the Whetstone Rec Center, Carpenter may never have discovered her passion and calling to become an artist.

Carpenter encourages others to find our true passion in whatever they may do.

“Each year I look forward to exploring new ways to challenge myself and to improve my work. Always forward,” Carpenter says. CS20 Marissa Smithinsky is a contributing writer.
