INSIGHT

Minds of the Muse Honoring local art history was a major priority in the design of CMA’s new wing

By Sarah Sole

SINCE 2009, COLUMBUS MUSEUM OF ART Executive Director Nanette Maciejunes has been looking for a way to present an exhibit on Pace/Columbus gallerist Eva Glimcher.

Six years later, upon the celebration of the museum’s new Margaret M. Walter Wing, Maciejunes thought it only appropriate to honor the legacy of one of the founders of the Columbus art gallery culture.

Glimcher ran Pace/Columbus – the local branch of an international contemporary art gallery that today has locations in New York City, London and Hong Kong, among other places – from 1965 to 1982. Maciejunes heard a great deal about the gallerist once she herself began working at the museum in 1984.

“She was a pioneer gallerist here in Columbus,” Maciejunes says.

So it was that since the museum revealed its 50,000-square-foot addition on Oct. 25, the new space has housed two new exhibits that pay tribute to the past. Local history is celebrated in Keeping Pace: Eva Glimcher and Pace/Columbus, while nationally known modernist artist Paul Feeley (1910-1966) will be introduced in Imperfections by Chance.

The new wing’s name recognizes Robert D. and Margaret “Peggy” Walter’s $10 million donation to the Columbus Museum of Art, the largest donation in the Museum’s history. A longtime museum volunteer, Peggy started her service as a CMA docent in 1971, leading museum tours. She joined the museum’s Women’s Board auxiliary later and has been a Board of Trustees member since 1994.

Keeping Pace

Painting Around Mount Zion, Jim Dine

Keeping Pace will be shown through Jan. 17, and Maciejunes says it is a uniquely Columbus show about the impact of a single individual.

Six artists that Glimcher made known in Columbus through her gallery will be showcased: Jim Dine, Jean Dubuffet, Louise Nevelson, Lucas Samaras, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol.

A 20-minute documentary, also part of the exhibit, explores Glimcher’s legacy through archival footage and interviews with Glimcher’s peers in Columbus and New York.

Tyler Cann, contemporary curator at the museum, says he prepared for the Keeping Pace exhibit by trying to obtain a range of works that were also representative of the types of art shown at Pace/Columbus.

“We wanted to reconstruct the whole exhibition history for the gallery,” Cann says.

Part of that recreation included an investigation into old newspaper articles, as well as the gallery’s old exhibition announcements, though they didn’t all reveal which particular works were displayed in the shows. Cann was able to identify certain pieces that were purchased from Pace/Columbus that resided in local collections. The museum obtained a number of pieces from local collectors, includCircus People, Karl Appel ing Ron Pizzuti, the Glimcher family and David Barker. Exhibition posters donated to the museum will also be on display.

“We wanted to represent a range of different works,” Cann says.

The exhibit features a variety of artists and different media including prints, photographs, collage, sculpture and painting. Some work represented in the show was never shown at Pace/Columbus. Featured artists were chosen based on their close relationships to the gallery.

INSIGHT

Imperfections by Chance The opportunity to put together a retrospective about Feeley came about through a partnership with Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, N.Y. “We wanted people to rediscover Paul Feeley,” Maciejunes says.

The exhibit will be shown through Jan. 10.

Inspired by an exhibition on Feeley at Garth Greenan Gallery in New York a few years back, Cann later found himself considering the prospect of a Feeley show in Columbus. Albright-Knox was also interested in doing an exhibition, so the museum and Albright-Knox decided to work together.

Cann worked alongside Albright-Knox Chief Curator Emeritus Douglas Dreishpoon to create the exhibit, which was shown first at Albright-Knox. They received help from the Feeley estate.

“It’s always good to have a conversation with someone who cares equally about a set of artworks,” Cann says.

The exhibition looks at Feeley’s work from 1954-1966. Feeley’s work is abHomer stract, Cann says, characterized by very bold colors and sinuous lines. The paint soaks into the weave of the canvas.

Feeley’s work is layered with a range of different associations and images, Cann says, including references to the body and games. Many of his works are named after star constellations.

There is a sense of joy in his work that one doesn’t always find in post-war American painting.

His work also shows an interest in the way lines create space.

“He is trying to hold those two things in tension throughout his work,” Cann says.

Central to the Feeley exhibit is a 21-foot-high, nine-piece sculpture that was shown at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York a few years after Feeley died at age 56. Just a few months before his death, Feeley had laid out the plans for the piece, which was fabricated posthumously beginning in 1967, Cann says.

The pieces were originally made of wood, and they eventually fell into disrepair and were destroyed, Maciejunes says. The Feeley family and the estate had always wanted the In 2016, CityScene presents piece back, though, and offered to have an aluminum sculpture made. This was fitting, A Year at the Museum, a since Feeley had originally considered makseries on art at the newly ing a metal version. renovated museum.

The sculpture, called Karnak, will sit outside on the tip of the museum’s property at the corner of Washington Avenue CS R E L A T E D R E A D I N G and Gay Street.

Making Connections OSU and Battelle work to restore function for victims of spinal cord injury

By David Allen IT WAS A LITTLE OVER 20 YEARS AGO that Christopher

Reeve, the actor known for his iconic portrayal of Superman in four movies from 1978 to 1987, was rendered quadriplegic by a horse-riding accident.

The accident fractured his top two vertebrae and left him unable to move his limbs until his death in 2004.

There was little to no hope at the time that Superman could have ever regained movement. But today, with the advances of The Ohio State University and Battelle, paralyzed individuals have that hope thanks to NeuroLife.

Paralysis is caused by many different things, but with injury-onset paralysis, it is almost always an injury to the spinal cord. The spinal cord connects the brain to the rest of the body, thus allowing us to use impulses from our brains to control our limbs. When it is injured, stimulus that travels – through chemical and electrical depolarization – down your cord cannot do so effectively, thus preventing the stimuli from reaching the muscles and effectively stopping movement. Likewise, any pain traveling from the extremities cannot be sensed by the brain.

Spinal cord injuries happen to approximately 7,800 people each year in the United States, and about a quarter of a million people have spinal cord injuries, with motor vehicle accidents comprising more than 44 percent of all cases, according to the National Spinal Cord Injury Association Resource Center. In more than 40 of these cases, complete paralysis does occur.

Needless to say, such injuries establish drastic need for innovative technology.

In comes NeuroLife. After a decade of research, OSU and Battelle have made significant progress helping people suffering from serious spinal cord injuries.

NeuroLife is a neural bypass system that “detours” the stimulus around the affected area and into the muscles necessary.

“The NeuroLife system records a subject’s brain signals about specific movements and translates those into muscle stimulation patterns. Those patterns are transmitted to an electrode array on the subject’s arm, which stimulates muscles to enable those movements,” Battelle research team leaders Herb Bresler and

Nick Annetta have written. “In other words, the subject thinks about moving their paralyzed limb, and the NeuroLife system enables the subject to make the specific movement.”

While still only used for clinical research, this new technology has incredible potential for individuals of all types in the very near future and offers an alternative from current technology.

“This technology allows the user to activate his or her own muscles just by thinking about it,” Bresler and Annetta write. “Other systems have used thought to control prosthetic limbs and other mechanical devices.

It’s the first time a paralyzed person has used his or her thoughts to create specific, dexterous movements.”

And in one specific case, this technology has already proved to be astounding, leading to significant excitement in the scientific community.

“In primary market interviews with surgeons, physicians, clinicians and therapists, all participants felt the technology demonstrated a significant breakthrough,” Bresler and Annetta write. “So far, we’ve conducted tests with one person with significant results. We plan to add more subjects to the clinical study in the future so we can continue (to) help enhance and evolve the technology.”

That person is Ian Burkhart, a quadriplegic from Dublin who, after a three-hour surgery in summer 2014, gained the ability to move his hands and fingers for the first time in the four years since the car accident that left him paralyzed.

“The surgery required the precise implantation of the microchip sensor in the area of Ian’s brain that controls his arm and hand movements,” says OSU neuroscience researcher and physician Dr. Ali Rezai.

“The NeuroLife Team and our collaborators at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center are thrilled to be utilizing, developing and refining this breakthrough technology to help people suffering from paralysis,” Bresler and Annetta write. “We are humbled by the opportunity to work with such courageous volunteer patients.” CS David Allen is a contributing writer.

CUISINE

THE ROAR OF THE CROWD. Lights, stages with elaborate décor and merch cover-

ing tables clad in white linens. An event the size of seven football fields. Celebrities, loud music, excitement.

This isn’t Lollapalooza or Coachella. This is Cleveland’s Fabulous Food Show.

The Food Show, held at the International Exposition (I-X) Center in Cleveland from Nov. 13-15, isn’t your typical culinary event. Boasting celebrities such as Buddy Valastro, Frankie Avalon and Michael Symon, the Fabulous Food Show’s 10th anniversary edition will be anything but dull.

The show hosts culinary heavyweights from all over the country: some straight from the Food Network, others close-to-home, upand-coming food and drink artisans. The variety of items to sample is extensive.

“It’s extraordinarily diverse. You can walk up aisle upon aisle, and we have whole sections dedicated to food trucks;

there’s international beer and wine pavilions, there’s a spirit lounge,” says Jeremy Levine, vice president of business development at the I-X Center. “We have farmers’ markets, mom and pop artisans, baked goods. It really runs the gamut of the culinary spectrum.”

Stefanie Paganini – director of student services for the International Culinary Arts & Sciences Institute in Chesterland east of Cleveland – has been with the show since its first year, when she was a student at iCASi. For Paganini, what sets the show apart is how it combines the old and the new.

“They really focus on two things that you would think would be different. It’s tradition and innovation,” Paganini says.

“I think the fact that they speak to all different levels of foodie is amazing as well.

It’s a good blend.”

Over the past decade, the show has featured Martha Stewart, Giada De Laurentiis, Alton Brown, “you name it, they’ve probably been here,” says Levine, who has also been with the show since its inception.

Because the I-X Center operates the building in addition to running the show, the event is unlike most of its contemporaries.

“We can artistically create an environment that can’t be replicated anywhere else,” Levine says.

“It’s hard to explain the sheer magnitude of this event, but it’s well worth the trip to come and experience something that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the country.”

Preceeding the show on Nov. 12, the I-X Center will host an awards gala for hospitality students and industry icons. On Nov. 13, a 10th anniversary cake, sculpted by Cleveland native and The Ohio State University alum Natalie Sideserf, will be unveiled at the Dessert First event. The Food Network has called Sideserf, who runs a cake studio in Austin, Texas, “one of the most talented young cake artists in the country at the forefront of realistic cake decorating.”

In addition to the Dessert First event, this year’s show will feature a concert by the Samples in the kitchen Nov. 14.

“We just love the tie-in of not only the name of the band, but their style of music. (They) will fit in very well,” Levine says. “We’ll kind of turn it into a big party on Saturday.”

Attendees crowd around display tables at the 2014 Fabulous Food Show.

Throughout the event, Valastro, Symon, Avalon, Aarón Sánchez and Gail Simmons will take the stage to perform and host demonstrations.

“We were one of the first, if not the very first, event in the country to put the chefs on stage in the same format you’d see at a rock concert or a live performance,” Levine says. “What we really wanted to do is bring that energy that you might see on the Food Network and bring that into the live environment.”

Paganini’s students from iCASi experience that energy firsthand. The student volunteers do everything from running booths to preparing food demonstrations for the likes of Stewart and De Laurentiis.

“If Michael Symon is pulling out a perfectly roasted chicken at the end of his demo and saying ‘ta-da,’ that beauty shot or that end product was produced backstage by our student volunteers,” Paganini says. “We also, of course, wash the dishes, and I think that’s a great lesson for our students that it’s not all glamorous. … Yes, Giada looks stunning on stage, but someone’s gotta wash that spoon when the demo is over.”

The show gives iCASi students realworld experience in customer service, teaching classes and preparing food for celebrity chefs. When Stewart performed at the show, students were challenged to bake a cheesecake multiple times. Stewart examined each one, selecting the cheesecake with the most “perfect swirl,” Paganini says, to be displayed on stage.

“It’s a really great training exercise for students, and a unique opportunity that we could not create for them here at the school,” Paganini says.

Due to the size of the event, Levine says, it often takes on a life of its own once the doors open. For Levine, that moment is the best part of the show.

“It’s a very rewarding experience when you can walk through a space and feel something. … We’re talking food and wine and craft beer, and there’s something very visceral about that experience,” Levine says. “My absolute favorite part is once this thing comes to life, it becomes a living entity of people enjoying that communal experience over food.”

Paganini agrees that the electricity of the celebration is tremendous at the Fabulous Food Show. From the performers to the volunteers at the I-X Center, pleasure in the sharing of food is contagious.

“The overwhelming feeling you get at the show is joy; everyone is happy to be there,” Paganini says. “Everyone is really happy to be celebrating food.”

Cooperative shares the art of printmaking through workshops and members’ talents

By William Kosileski

Rising Printmaking Cooperative has been doing its level best to preserve an otherwise struggling form of artistic expression.

The nonprofit allows core and associate members to share space, equipment and printing presses in its studio.

Located in downtown Columbus, the cooperative offers classes and workshops in a wide variety of locations with the goal of teaching art and printmaking techniques, as well as promoting both traditional and modern forms of printmaking.

“Our classes and workshops aren’t as rigidly designed as it is in a university setting,” says Anne Cushman, president and co-founder. “They are small and provide a lot of individual attention.”

Phoenix Rising was formed in 1996, and the first studio officially opened in 1998.

Cushman was inspired to begin Phoenix due to a lack of printmaking facilities in Columbus at the time, other than within colleges and universities.

“I love the process of printmaking. It is one of the dying arts as far as fine arts (go), and many colleges and universities are downsizing it,” she says. “I want to help promote it and keep it alive as an art form.”

Core member Mary Woodworth has had a good deal of regional success in presenting her art since she began in printmaking in 1995. Woodworth has been awarded various grants, the latest of which she used to produce linoleum prints, which she had previously done on silk, onto a large quilt.

Amanda VanDenberg, one of the newest and youngest core members, says she found a new caOpinion, Amanda VanDenberg reer path thanks to an undergraduate printmaking class she took. Since then, her work has been displayed in various venues, and she has entered the Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Competition.

Another core member, Joan Tallan, began her art career in pottery, but later discovered a hidden love for printmaking. She now enters shows every year and thinks about printmaking even in the rare moments she isn’t practicing the art, she says.

Artwork from core members has been exhibited in numerous shows in central Ohio, including, most recently, the Cultural Arts Center.

“I think that the cooperative has really helped me tremendously, because you suddenly have 10 Geology Quilt, Anne Cushman best friends that you are working with,” Tal-

Living Building the perfect home starts with the perfect plan.

If you’re building your own home, you almost certainly have a long list of priorities.

Finding a way to check all those boxes means having the right person to help you plan; someone who will work one-on-one with you and who not only promises to turn dreams into reality, but knows the best way to go about it.

Often, homeowners must choose between custom builders and architects, but sometimes, they have the option of using both.

Bob Webb Homes eliminates that decision from the equation by connecting customers with a personal architect to work in all the home features they want in the smartest way possible.

The company also uses an in-house cabinet shop and landscaping to personalize the home-building experience and ensure 100 percent customization. But it’s the architect with whom true customization of a home starts.

“We feel like we built the house we envisioned for our family,” says Bob Webb client Jennifer. “We have been able to tweak things. We have been able to make things the way we want them, that we feel would (make them) best function for us.”

The ability to seamlessly change features midway through the process was a big help, she says.

The process helped produce the laundry room/mudroom/pantry area that will be a major highlight of the new house.

“A lot of times, you don’t realize how much time is spent getting in and out of the house with a lot of children and, currently, that is one of the hardest things,” she says.

“We are tripping over bags, (but) now, I feel we have the space to get organized and get out the door.”

Jennifer has worked with non-custom builders, she says, and working with Bob Webb allowed her much more input on the design process.

“We have had a choice to decide everything from the color of the trim to the color of our light switch plates,” she says. v All photos are courtesy of Bob Webb Homes. Visit www.bobwebb.com to learn more about the company and its custom design process.

Feel the Heat

Fireplaces merge the aesthetic and practical to warm up a room

By Sarah Sole

W

hether it’s for decorative or practical purposes, a fireplace in a home evokes a sort of deep, primal comfort.

The warmth and the light draw the eye, and the cheery flames can make a home a haven during cold days and nights.

With the variety of models available, finding a style and type of fireplace that’s best suited to your home can be a simple process.

If you love that crackling sound, opt for a wood-burning fireplace. If you like the heat and the light but don’t want the hassle, perhaps a gas-burning fireplace is more your speed.

CityScene picked our favorite examples of fireplaces in both traditional and contemporary styles. Look at them long enough, and you’ll find yourself yearning for a comfortable sofa and that ambient atmosphere that can only be achieved through firelight.

The limestone in this masonry fireplace with gas logs creates a beautiful backdrop for the mantle.

Minds Behind the Water Dublin duo are key part of lake’s Snug Harbor development

By Garth Bishop

A

couple decades ago, you likely wouldn’t have guessed that a police officer and a periodontist would play substantial roles in the further development of Buckeye Lake.

But today, Pete Coratola and Dr. Ron Garvey are two of the major players in Snug Harbor, a resort-style waterfront development under way in Buckeye Lake, through their investors’ group, Bridge Street Firehouse Investments LLC and Shoreline Development Group Ltd. Through ownership, management and development, Coratola has been involved with over $500 million in real estate projects over the years, a huge number of them in central Ohio. The most recognizable is likely the Hilton Columbus/Polaris hotel, which opened in 2008.

Several other investors had faced difficulty bringing a major hotel into the Polaris area, Coratola says, and it took a lot of work to convince commercial real estate developer Robert Weiler to partner with him on the project. But it paid off; between equity and bank debt, the hotel ended up being a roughly $50 million project.

Other local projects have included the hotels near Port Columbus International Airport, an office building in Metro Place in Dublin and two Dublin shopping centers, as well as other assorted hotels, apartment complexes and shopping centers. Coratola has also dealt with hotels in Florida, Iowa and Illinois.

Coratola, who lives in Dublin, was a Columbus police officer for 22 years. His first few investment projects were apartment complexes in northeast Columbus, which also happened to be his beat. Using his knowledge of the community and experience as a police officer, he would invest in projects that others had difficulty managing and help turn them around.

He amassed some 2,000 apartments before selling them and beginning to move into larger projects such as shopping centers and hotels.

Coratola and his wife, Terri, have two grown children: a son and a daughter.

Garvey, an experienced real estate investor, has been a dentist for over 40 years and practiced as a periodontist for 29 of those years, owning a practice on Bethel Road in northwest Columbus. He was active in professional organizations and has served as president of the Columbus Academy of Periodontists.

He retired four years ago and is now a part-time faculty member at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.

The Dublin resident and his wife of almost 40 years, Marcia, have two grown sons and one granddaughter. www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

“When I first saw Snug Harbor, it brought back memories of the years that I’ve spent on the water with my family.”

Dr. Ron Garvey

Dr. Ron Garvey, left, and Pete Coratola Photo by Scott Cunningham

He met Coratola 20 years ago at a party in Muirfield Village, where they both lived, and shortly thereafter, he decided to invest in one of Coratola’s apartment complexes. He has been investing in Coratola’s and other projects ever since, and recognized Snug Harbor as a good choice due to the appeal of the lifestyle opportunities it will offer.

“I have a lot of friends who have summer homes out there,” says Garvey.

Snug Harbor represented a prime opportunity, Garvey says, and the company jumped at the chance to invest in it when it came available.

“We really wanted Snug Harbor because we saw the value of the property there,” Coratola says.

Snug Harbor represents more than just a sound financial investment for Garvey.

“When I first saw Snug Harbor, it brought back memories of the years that I’ve spent on the water with my family, dating back to when I was a preteen,” he says.

Growing up in Annapolis, Md., Garvey spent time boating and fishing with his family on the Severn River. When they moved to central Ohio during his high school years, the areas around O’Shaughnessy Dam and Griggs Reservoir became the family’s new boating destinations.

“Practicing dentistry and, especially, periodontics, is a very precise profession,” 40 L u

xury

i v i n g

he says. “It demands patience and attention to detail, and I looked forward to my time on the lake, when I can unwind, relax and goal-plan.”

On top of that, his wife grew up making trips to Ohio’s Seneca Lake. The couple took their sons there when they were young and bought a house on the lake shortly thereafter.

“I saw the smiles on their faces, and I decided … this was something I wanted to continue to do with my family,” Garvey says.

The return of those memories prompted Garvey to make Snug Harbor one of his investments. He also appreciates the opportunity to help others relax there, as he has relaxed on the water.

Such amenities as the Villa di Luce, wharf and ice cream parlor set Snug Harbor apart, as do the different housing styles, Garvey says.

“That excites me – (helping) other people have the same fun and the same experiences that type of lifestyle offers,” he says.

Bridge Street Firehouse Investments bought the note and related debt instruments from the bank, and because Bridge Street is now the lender, there’s no debt to deal with, Coratola says.

“All these other projects (we’ve developed) had huge debt on them,” he says.

By itself, the opportunity to invest and build in a popular lakefront community 35 minutes from downtown Columbus was appealing enough, Coratola says.

“You can’t replace inland water lakes,” says Garvey. “There’s only so much water available.”

On top of that, the homes in Snug Harbor are in the earliest stages of building. The structure – including roads, utilities, zoning and docking rights – is all in place, and that’s a big help, says Coratola.

“We see that this is an absolute home run (of a) project,” he says.

Coratola and Garvey have been working with Snug Harbor developer Marty Finta and have been pleased with the progress of the community, citing Finta’s vision and attention to detail as strong assets.

Coratola and Garvey have been encouraged by the recent announcement that lake levels will be raised to only one foot below summer pool by June.

The two frequently visit to check on progress and have closely followed news of the revitalization efforts in the area.

“I’m more excited about the Snug Harbor project than about any other project,” Coratola says.

Bridge Street will make the appropriate legal and business decisions and take whatever actions are necessary to protect its financial interest while working with Finta’s team, Coratola and Garvey say.

“Our plan now is to move forward the Snug Harbor project as designed and see it to completion, following Marty Finta’s vision and development plan, while giving the marketplace confidence,” says Garvey.

The combination of secure finances and completed amenities make Snug Harbor an appealing development, the two say.

“Although we have no written agreement at this time, we have come to an understanding with Bridge Street in how to move the Snug Harbor project ahead and we look forward to bringing Snug Harbor to market spring of 2016,” Finta says. v Garth Bishop is managing editor.

Beyond Baking Cheryl’s business these days is consulting, not cookies

By Hannah Bealer Photo by Scott Cunningham WHEN CHERYL KRUEGER WAS ABOUT 6 YEARS OLD, her grandmother started

showing her her way around the kitchen.

By age 10, Krueger, who grew up south of Sandusky, says she knew how to bake a variety of cookies. She packed them in school lunches and enjoyed eating the leftover cookie dough.

Little did Krueger know her knack for baking would transform her into a successful businesswoman and entrepreneur – and a household name in central Ohio.

Though she found great success in Cheryl’s Cookies – now known as Cheryl & Co. – Krueger ended her tenure as president and CEO when she sold the company in 2005. The decision, she says, was completely unplanned.

“It was one of those things where we got an offer and had other investors in the company, and we thought it would be good to diversify a bit,” she says. “(1-800-Flowers) was consistent with our business goals and objectives.”

Krueger founded a consulting business, Krueger+Co. Consulting Inc. There, she assists businesses with financial improvement, creative marketing and other areas.

“There are a lot of good ideas out there from a lot of young people,” Krueger says. “What they’re lacking is the experience, or how to make their ideas a reality. Once you’ve been through it and come out the other end, you have that experience and a lot of wisdom.”

She’s also president of Life Support, which sells an all-natural hangover cure.

“We’ve taken that company up from ground zero,” Krueger says. “It’s in about 120 stores, and we’re putting it in about 100 more stores.”

While Krueger says she’s never been in the beverage business until now, she finds a lot of similarities between Life Support and Cheryl’s Cookies. But there are differences, too, such as the target demographic.

“The fundamentals are very similar,” Krueger says. “But when I had the cookie business, that was mostly targeted toward females. Life Support is (targeting) 80 percent males.”

Life Support targets an age range of 21-60, so Krueger says it’s been interesting to explore what the product means to both a younger and older audience. And, with the rise of social media’s importance in the business world, Krueger adds she’s learning quite a bit about different ways to market.

“Social media has changed dramatically, so that’s been exciting as well,” she says. “The goal is to grow into a large company and see where it goes from there.”

The Bowling Green State University graduate started taking business classes in the 1970s, and recalls being the only woman in many of her classes. Her knack for business, she says, was never a grand realization. Rather, it came from growing up on a farm and naturally having a creative and industrious streak.

“When I was little, I would make mud pies and sell them at the end of the driveway – a penny for one,” Krueger says. “I think one of the greatest gifts I was given is that I am an eternal optimist. I think I was born this way.” CS

Vintage Valuables Wine accessories for the holiday season

By Garth Bishop BOTTLES OF WINE TEND TO TAKE ON prominent roles once the weather gets cold,

be they on the table at a party, under the tree at Christmas or just chilling for an evening indoors.

Whether your and your guests’ preferences lean more toward aged Italian vintages or new releases from central Ohio wineries, there are plenty of accessories that can help everyone thoroughly appreciate that next bottle.

Electric Rabbit Corkscrew Not only does this electric corkscrew from Metrokane make cork removal a snap, it even has an illuminated LCD screen to tell the user how many more corks it can remove before it must be recharged. $50, www.metrokane.com Savino Enthusiast Savino’s wine preservation system is designed to keep wine fresh without awkward re-corking, with the Enthusiast model – made from BPA-free plastic – a new alternative to the more-expensive glass Connoisseur model. Pour into the Savino as soon as the bottle is opened, and the locking lid keeps the wine good for a week. $29.95, www.savinowine.com TRIbella There are plenty of quality aerators on the market that promise a better wine experience by exposing the wine to air and letting it breathe as it pours, but TRIbella has generated some buzz for its three-stream design and lack of dripping. $40, www.tribellawine.com Cork Retriever Outside of a stain on white carpet or clothing, no wine-related incident inspires quite as much dread as a cork stuck in the bottle. Luckily, even a deteriorated cork is no match for this handy gadget from Wine Enthusiast. $9.95, www. wineenthusiast.com Waterproof Marsala iPhone Case Not all wine accessories go on the bottle. Catalyst’s Marsala iPhone case will keep smartphones safe from errant wine – or any other spilled liquid. $69.99, www.catalystlifestyle.com Garth Bishop is managing editor.

Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad The Durbin & Greenbrier Valley Railroad in Elkins, W.Va. offers the Polar Express Train Ride from Nov. 6 to Dec. 20. Passengers relive the 2004 animated Tom Hanks film and the Chris Van Allsburg children’s book on which it was based.

Passengers, encouraged to wear pajamas, will have their tickets punched by conductors, enjoy treats served by dancing chefs and be taken to the North Pole, where Santa will be waiting. Each passenger receives a free souvenir cocoa mug, and children receive sleigh bells from Santa.

“It gives them a reason to jump in the car, or even rent a bus, to travel to a place they have never been and experience an event of a lifetime together,” says railroad Marketing Manager Bonnie Branciaroli.

Durbin & Greenbrier is one of more than 30 other officially licensed Polar Express Train Ride events across the country. About an hour away, Stonewall Resort, also in West Virginia, offers the Polar Express Package for lodging purposes, which allows residents to experience the train ride as well as holiday-related activities at the resort, says Samantha Norris, community outreach director for Stonewall.

“It has become so much more than a two-hour train ride,” says Kim Gillan-Shafron, senior director of marketing strategy and customer experience for the railroad. “It is an opportunity for families to stop and take a breath during the holidays.”

The railroad has been offering this ride for more than 20 years, and it is rated one of the best in the country by Polar Express company Rail Events Inc., Gillan-Shafron says.

Passengers eat cookies, sing carols and witness the storytelling of the book while traveling to the North Pole to meet Santa. There, Santa will arrive in his sleigh, GillanShafron says.

“This has become an iconic tradition in northeast Ohio,” Gillan-Shafron says.

In addition, the railroad offers the Christmas Tree Adventure, in which passengers go to Heritage Tree Farms to select Christmas trees for their holiday on Nov. 28.

Glowing with Pride

Influenced by her artist father, urban painter Amanda Hope Cook documents vintage neon signs

By Corinne Murphy WHEN NASHVILLE NATIVE AMANDA HOPE COOK brought her artistic talent to Columbus, she began simultaneously preserving and elevating a declining art: landmark urban signs.

Cook’s art demonstrates how lettering, lighting and bold color can portray an entire city or culture. The paintings, packed with local personality, also contribute to the conservation of vintage signs.

Cook began painting when she was only 2 years old. Cook – heavily influenced by her father, Marion B. Cook – reminisces about their connection as artists, recalling that before he became a full-time artist, he was a sign painter for local businesses in Nashville.

“I remember driving around with him when I was a child,” Cook says. “He would point out signs on the sides of old brick buildings that he’d worked on.”

She also describes the connection to him that resonates from her childhood.

“I would sit on his studio floor and just paint,” she says.

After building a strong foundation in drawing and painting, she was awarded a scholarship to the Columbus College of Art and Design, where she double majored in fine art and illustration and minored in visual communications.

After working full-time in museums from 1999 to 2006, Cook would only paint when she had the chance, creating still lifes and traditional landscapes. She finally found her niche when she started a new series titled Looking Up. At first, her subject matter included drifting clouds, street signs and high-strung wires. By simply looking slightly “lower and lower” in 52

the landscape, she says, she found her true passion: recreating urban signs in oil paint.

Looking Up is a series “in which she hopes to reveal a thing of beauty in an object that sits dormant against a boundless sky and is often only seen from a distance,” according to Cook’s website. “Observing the finest of detail, she recreates the way the sunlight glistens off of a curve, or the range of transparencies the shadows of the tubing cast onto the painted letters of the surface below.”

Cook, whose work is strikingly photographic, does not simply copy a single photograph. All of her work is visualized from several photographs she takes herself.

She also creates a unique representation: adding more saturation or glow from the neon signs, for example.

“I create paintings from different times of day or night,” she says. “It creates interest by adding different light and shadow.

Sometimes a single light bulb burns out, and it creates a whole different look.”

Subjects in central Ohio have included signs for the North Market, Rife’s Market, the Book Loft, Drexel Theater and even Buckeye Donuts.

As part of a new project, Cook is currently recreating the myriad of neon signs from the movie Cars. Reproductions of her work can even be found in the Off the Page Gallery at Disneyland. Now, she is working on the second in the upcoming series of about a dozen.

Fireproof

Cook often has at least four paintings in progress at once.

She describes rotating between each one, explaining with a laugh, “It’s not as organized as it sounds.”

Cook’s work is represented in galleries across the nation.

Locally, it can be seen at Sharon Weiss Gallery. It’s also on display at Bonfoey Gallery in Cleveland, Haynes Galleries of Nashville, Gallery Asheville of Asheville, N.C. and Beverly McNeil Gallery of Birmingham, Ala. CS

Food for Thought Social justice-themed art abounds in Pizzuti Collection show

By Garth Bishop IF YOU KNOW ARTISTS, IT’S NOT MUCH OF A CHALLENGE to find one whose work is motivated largely by social issues.

Now, finding almost 40 such artists – that’s a challenge. Fortunately, though, the Pizzuti Collection is well prepared to meet it.

The Short North gallery’s Us Is Them exhibition, which runs through April 2, is entirely dedicated to artists whose work addresses problems they’ve seen in society. It features 60plus works by 36 artists, with media including sculpture, photography and video.

“The artists confront issues of politics, religion, racism,” says Rebecca Ibel, director and curator of the Pizzuti Collection. “It’s really about issues of social justice in current affairs.”

Artists using their work to bring light to important issues is nothing new. Ibel mentions French painter Edouard Manet and Spanish painter Francisco Goya as a couple of historical examples. But as art becomes more and more accessible, more and more artists are able to get their message out.

“I think even in the title, we’re contributing to a national dialogue on the importance of civil liberties, justice, equality and care about our fellow humans,” Ibel says. “I’m hoping this has a broader appeal.”

The societal ills addressed vary widely depending on each artist’s area of origin, Ibel says. For example, many of the American artists focus on bigotry and racism, particularly as relates to the black community, while African artists focus more on poverty and the legacy of colonialism.

Embroidered Portrait Series #13, Religion, politics, the environment, ecoChang Xugong nomics, solidarity and tolerance are among the other themes explored by art in the show. Even the works by international artists may reverberate with local patrons, as global issues often have some effect on domestic ones.

The exhibition is divided into geographic sections: • Africa and the Caribbean, primarily focused on the aforementioned legacy of colonialism; • China, with many works looking at the effect of individual voices in a large society; • The Middle East, mainly addressing equality and religious freedom; and • The U.S., largely related to bigotry and intolerance.

The artists also present a mixture in terms of prominence: Some have already achieved widespread renown, some are up-and-coming.

“These are rising stars, and organizing this exhibition, we’re (working) to bring in artists for talks,” says Ibel.

Several of the artists are expected to be scheduled for events at the gallery, and for those who cannot attend, locals who understand the issues covered may speak instead. For example, while it might be difficult to bring in an artist who lives in China, professors from The Ohio State University may address the subject matter instead.

There’s always an effort to ensure Pizzuti Collection shows represent Ohio artists, and this one is no exception, including work by Aminah Robinson and Jonathan Hammer.

Us Is Them opened the gallery’s third season in September, and most of the work in it, as always, is part of the collection of Ron Pizzuti, owner of Columbus-based national real

estate firm the Pizzuti Companies. Pizzuti started out collecting 20th-century masters but has, over time, gravitated more toward emerging artists, Ibel says.

That attraction to hot new artists on the scene has made Pizzuti passionate about finding fresh voices, she says.

Though it was the work of black artists that first captured the attention of Pizzuti and Ibel, international issues – such as the shooting deaths of 11 people at French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo this past January – prompted them to search further for the show.

“We expanded it to include artists all over the world, because the concerns are there,” says Ibel.

Artist talks will be posted at www.pizzuticollection.org as they are announced. CS Garth Bishop is managing editor. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Dec. 5, 1-9 p.m. • Downtown Granville GRANVILLE TRANSFORMS INTO A VISION of an old-fashioned Christmas for the 30th an-

nual Christmas Candlelight Walking Tour.

Visitors can enjoy musical performances, vendors, crafts, lights, exhibits and sweet treats, or tour the village in a horse-drawn carriage or an old-fashioned trolley. In the evening, Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive from the North Pole on a Granville fire truck.

Last year, the event featured 72 activities and performances and 43 vendors. The best place to start is the Granville Welcome Center, says Steve Matheny, executive director of the Granville Area Chamber of Commerce.

“The challenge is to plan your time so you can hit all the spots you want to visit,” Matheny says.

Matheny is glad to see the celebration remain a staple in the village.

“It really typifies Granville and what Granville is about,” he says. “We are a small town and we preserve that small-town feel. People came maybe when they were kids with their grandparents, and now maybe they have children of their own.”

CRITIQUE With Michael McEwan

The Painter’s Eye

Featuring Water Lilies (Agapanthus) by Claude Monet

IN LANDSCAPE PAINTING, FINDING A MOTIF can send an artist on a search far and wide,

or as close as the back yard. I cannot think of many artists who actually created their own landscapes, as was the case with Claude Monet (1840-1926).

Monet’s paintings often feature the lush gardens around his home in Giverny, France.

Anne Dumas, a curator at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, said in a 2015 article in The Guardian, “Not everybody knows quite what a serious and unbelievably knowledgeable gardener and horticulturalist Monet was. ... He himself thought he was a better gardener than painter.”

Water Lilies (Agapanthus Triptych) (1915-26) has come together for the first time in many years. The other two, equally large panels belong to the St. Louis Art Museum and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. At 6 ½ feet high and 56 feet long, it cannot help but be an immersive experience. Monet’s complete freedom of paint handling and mastery of color is supremely evident.

Paul Klee, Emil Nolde, Gustav Klimt and Wassily Kandinsky make perhaps a surprise appearance in the same exhibition, Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse – on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art through Jan. 5 – but all of them used the garden motif. Other artists included in this exhibition are Édouard Manet, John Singer Sargent, Henri Matisse, Vincent van Gogh and Mary Cassatt.

Organized by the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Cleveland Museum of Art, this exhibition is a rare opportunity to see truly exceptional paintings, and is not likely to happen again this close to central Ohio for a very long time. CS
